Let's Play Recorder

This curriculum is rich with discovery, problem solving, teamwork, and individual challenges. We also emphasize and experience the joyful, expressive, human art of music-making globally and historically, with emphasis on the wood flute.
Expectations: 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. Contains LPM/Presto content. Those that have had LPM or Presto will know some songs already. Those that haven’t will learn them. There is note reading, rhythm reading, chord & harmony review for some, and will function as an introduction to others. Curriculum Highlights "The Squeaky Symphony" is a silly song whose lyrics teach proper recorder technique and include a section where students are free to play all the horrible sounds that happen when playing incorrectly, all in the spirit of playfulness. "Banuwa" is a Liberian folk song chanted, sung, and played on percussion and 3-part recorder. A full accompaniment track makes this a robust, immersive, rousing musical experience. "The Star People" is a Lakota Nations story telling of children losing their way and using the stars and their ancestors to come back home. It is accompanied by a beautiful Lakota wood flute song which will also be our puppet show. Typical tonguing and fingering exercises that are usually boring are fun, easy, and musically rewarding using fantastic accompaniment tracks. You won't believe how fun it is to play an A over and over again! Absolutely no Hot Cross Buns!
