Let's Play RecorderOur new Let's Play Recorder class is going to change the you think about playing the recorder! We've broken down the skills for beautifully playing the recorder and - true to LPM style - made it fun! It's an introduction to recorder, even though your child may have had experience in school. This fun class is for ages 6-12. No musical experience necessary!There will be 8 total sessions. Classes will be 1 hour long. Parents will not attend classes with their child, but will be invited to attend a showcase during the final session of classes. When will this class be? I currently have a class scheduled starting Tuesdays, August 27th @ 9:30am. This particular one is geared toward homeschoolers that want a fun short term music class. I will add other classes if requested here! Far from only learning to play the recorder, this curriculum is rich with discovery, problem solving, teamwork, and individual challenges. All repertoire is designed for quick success, using the notes that are easiest to play. This session includes introduction/review of the treble clef notes on the staff and corresponding fingerings on the recorder. We also address proper playing technique and embouchure. Songs and ensembles are all easily scaled for varied levels of skill, practice, and interest. The session uses the recorder and other instruments (bells, piano, percussion) to learn chords, rhythms, and note naming. We emphasize classical music experience, group ensemble playing, meter/conducting, improvisation, composition, and reflective listening skills. We also emphasize and experience the joyful, expressive, human art of music-making globally and historically, with emphasis on the wood flute. Some students will learn to play recorder - those who love it and practice at home. If your child does not, s/he will still have a rich musical experience with classical music, composition, improvisation, ensemble playing, rhythm reading, harmony, note reading, ear training, and music making. This class contains LPM/Presto content. Those that have had LPM or Presto will know some songs already. Those that haven’t will learn them! There will be note reading, rhythm reading, chord & harmony review for some, and will function as an introduction to others.
