Remember, your homework is to practice 7 minutes daily. If you are struggling, please come see me as soon as possible! This week we tested for our white belt and our yellow belt. Grades for the completion of these belts will be posted next week when students receive their belts. If you have not passed white or yellow during class, it is your job to come and see me!
This weekend: Focus on BAGE (fingering charts in previous post) Ways to practice:
I reminded students today that it is important to spend 7 minutes daily practicing the recorder. Remember, cramming will not build the muscle memory necessary for playing well!
As a review of last year and to catch new students up to speed we will be testing the three BAG songs that I listed in my last post on Monday to earn our White, Yellow and Orange belts. In addition I have included 4 extra BAG songs for the students. These are for extra practice or to earn an extra belt! I uploaded the songs below! BAG fingering charts are in my previous post. If you need more? Remember... you can write your own songs! We have begun our review and study of recorders. In class on Monday the students reviewed the notes B-A-G and played "Hot Cross Buns." Homework for this week is to practice for our first three belts:
White Belt - Hot Cross Buns Yellow Belt - Gently Sleep Orange Belt - Merrily We Roll Along If you want to practice with online accompaniment, click HERE. The username is karate, see Ms. Schmittle for the password. If you are squeaking... check for a two things- 1. Are my fingers fully covering the holes? 2. Am I blowing with slow warm air? We will continue with our study of recorders this year beginning on Monday September 28th. Students should bring their recorders starting on this date. If students still have their recorder karate books from last year, they should bring these as well. Happy playing!
