Recorder lessons

A big well done to all those children who have been coming along on a Monday lunchtime to learn how to play the recorder! We will be sending out letters just before half term to the children who have been coming regularly to let you know about purchasing a recorder (if not done already) and a book we use to teach from.


Some tips if your child is at home with a recorder and you are a 'non player!'

* Left hand at top of recorder (we call if logo hand - school logo is on the left)
* Thumb pad covers hole at back of recorder
* Index finger covers first note at the top of the recorder
* Gentle blow to get a lovely even sound, any squeaking, a hole is not covered!
* Use the right hand to hold the end of the recorder to keep it steady.


Finally, if you child does NOT bring home a letter at half term and you were expecting one, please come and see me as it might be to do with your child's attendance which we can help with?
