I hope you have your recorders ready to go, because Lesson 1 is live on YouTube! Lesson 1 covers:
- Proper hand position
- How to blow properly into the recorder
- Finger numbering system
- Proper finger placement
- Playing the note B
- Call and response patterns
- Common mistakes and how to fix them
- Identifying B on the music staff
Here are a few tips:
- Each person will master the concepts at a different pace. This is normal! Please don’t feel like you need to watch the video from start to finish without pausing. In fact, I recommend you pausing and practicing each concept a bit before moving on with the lesson!
- Keep a notepad and pencil close by. At the end of the episode, I will give you specific concepts to practice between lessons.
- Ask me questions! Is there a word that confused you? Maybe you are trying to fix your mistakes with the techniques I mentioned, but you are still squeaking. Please comment so I can help! Your questions help me help you.
This lesson covers A LOT of information, but everything covered will help you get off to a great start! Good luck!
