What will be done with my students

The students will begin by learning how to hold the instrument. Next, we will begin to learn to blow the proper way. After the fundamental steps have taken place, the students will begin to play simple songs by rote teaching. The final step of instruction is to take the note reading skills that the students have learned and actually apply it to using the method book that each student will receive.  

 

Benefits to my students

This will be the 1st experience for the students to play a wind instrument. Also, for those students who decide to eventually play a woodwind instrument, they will have learned the left over right hand position that all woodwind instruments use. The students ability to read and play music will improve. Both the students' right side and left side of their brains will be working together. They will physically be doing something, reading notes, blowing air thru the instrument, listening to themselves and making judgements and adjusting their performance, counting the rhythms, and playing music with others. Playing the recorder will have the brain of each student doing about 5 or 6 things at once!  

 

Budget Narrative

These are medium quality plastic recorders with an outstanding student book. When classroom instruction is complete, the students will take home their own recorder and book.
