Recorders

Recorders are the main focus of Fourth Grade.

Here are some play along lessons on recorder.

Remember to:

Cover the holes COMPLETELY with your FLAT fingers.

Blow softly or you will squeak.

Use your LEFT HAND on top for "B", "A" and "G".

Use your tongue to play rhythms by saying things like "ta, ta, tate, ta" while you are blowing.

Here are the BAG Songs, start with these.

This is a hard one. Can you do it?

Here are some songs from YouTube. Most of you have "Baroque" fingering. Your recorder may have either a small "B" or "G" near the back hole. "B" is for Baroque, and "G" is for German. Most recorders are baroque but some are German.
