Hi everyone! Aims for this week:
- Get comfortable with setting up your instrument correctly
- Practice sitting and standing correctly with your instrument
- Play our silly string song and make up your own, plucking using the left pinky to strengthen its muscles
- Test yourself with 3-note patterns (such as D-A-D or G-G-D), trying to avoid looking at your fingers
- Play the accompaniment to Twinkle, Twinkle that we played in class. If you know someone who plays the recorder, ask them to play the melody while you pluck the accompaniment!
Patterns to practice playing with a friend:
