Recorder


A few weeks ago I ran across my "sweet recorder music book" from my music ed. class in college. I vaguely remember learning some of the required songs for the class & I had no memory of any of the notes. But I knew I somehow ended up with two recorders..I'm usually trying to put them somewhere inconspicuous") (out of sight..out of mind). But finding this book, made me think it may be fun for the kids to learn some of the notes & have fun playing with the recorders. Today Maddie was quick to set up the book & play away. I tried to show her how to hold her fingers & play a G with three fingers..just like the books showed us, & she tried for a second. But had much more fun improvizing her own notes to some of her favorites....something like this..."oh ,my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling clementine: & twinkle, twinkle little star.
