Students that are at least 1st/2nd grade age and are reading will enjoy the Windsongs 1 class. In this class students play the precorder as a tool as they learn solfege, practice note reading and rhythm. (The precorder is used in this class because young students are more successful on this small version of a recorder.) We learn about steady beat, solfege, how to read rhythms, how to read music, music theory, practice matching pitch with our voice and we learn how to play the precorder!! This class is filled with fun activities and games to help students learn music concepts in a fun way! Every lesson has a free, complete follow-along video, Guided Practice, where I guide the student through the homework. Parents love this feature!

Middle School and High School Recorder Essentials Plus High School Elective Credit 0.5

On-line

This class teaches students the basics of music while learning to play the recorder. It also teaches music history using the songs and composers used for the recorder songs. A fun YouTube musical 'extra' is included in every lesson! One full year (28 weeks of lessons) earns your High Schooler 0.5 Fine Arts credit.

This class is unique because students are required to send me a solo EVERY lesson. This really helps me keep up with their progress and also enables me to head off any problems. I always respond back promptly with a video to help and encourage them. Additionally, students have a Guided Practice with every lesson which is a complete ‘follow along’ video where I review each of the homework songs and go through all of the steps with the student that make learning easy and fun.
