Practice a little with the next exercise:
We start playing the wind instrument, the RECORDER.
First steps to follow are:
Play in the right place and at the right time when you practice.
Treat the instrument properly, it is not a toy or a hammer.
Hold the recorder with both hands: LEFT ON THE TOP and RIGHT DOWN.
Try to get a good sound always, for this purpose, blow gently and keep a steady blowing.
Move the tongue up to the top of the mouth, remember as if you were saying /DU/ sound.
Watch the following videos which can help you to begin your practice in the recorder.
Listen to the first movement of The Spring by Vivaldi (3 minutes and 25 seconds).
Colour the pictures Vivaldi wanted to evocate with his music.
Colour the musical instruments from Vivaldi's time.
Focus on the notes and the beats they last. Later on we will talk about the time signatures.
A play-party song to have fun together.
Read the lyrics first.
Here you have the first three verses:
1.
Goodbye girls I'm goin' to Boston (three times)
Early in the morning.
2.
Saddle up girls and let's go with 'em (three times)
Early in the morning.
3.
Get out the way you'll get run over! (three times)
Early in the morning.

Won't we look pretty in the ballroom (three times).
Early in the morning.
REVIEW THE NAME OF THE NOTES AND THEIR LEGHTS!
LET'S PRACTICE READING NOTES WITH THE FOLLOWING INTERACTIVE EXERCISES...
Let's start with some about the BEAT.
We can define the BEAT as the steady pulse that you feel in the tune, like a clock's tick.
Try to catch the BEAT in the next famous pop songs. Show the beat for every one clapping by your hands, for instance.
Moving on, here you have our Halloween song for this year.
Practice it and try to add some movements in the 'bridge' (the instrumental music part).
I leave two version:
The original one.
The karaoke version.
Enjoy them all!
