KINDERMUSIK FOR THE YOUNG CHILD, SEMESTER 4
Week 3 (Lesson 48)
Dear Young Child 4 Parent:
I asked the children to listen and watch me play the recorder today and to determine what I did differently. They were able to see (and hear) that I changed from the a’ fingering to a different fingering, thus changing the pitch of the recorder. Today’s new note is c”. Of course, the children already recognize the sound of c” and a’, have sung the notes in many songs, and know how both c” and a’ look on the music staff. Now they can play these two notes on the recorder!
Since fine motor skills vary from child to child, it is helpful for you to be available as your child practices the recorder this week. Be sure she is holding the recorder with the left hand on top! (Putting the right hand above the left hand is a common mistake.) A simple way to ensure this is done correctly is to place a sticker on the “top” (left) hand so that it is visible to your child while holding the recorder.
At home, your child will be excited to find that he can play simple melodies such as Rain, Rain, Go Away and 1-2 Tie My Shoe with his two notes on the recorder!
