PreWindsongs Music Kit- Included in course cost
Windsongs 1
1st-2nd grade
The W1 class covers concepts such as steady beat, solfege, reading rhythms, music theory, matching pitch with our voices, and playing the precorder. The precorder is an ideal instrument for young students because it is easier to play than the recorder. It features raised tone holes, which help the student cover the holes properly and produce accurate pitch.
In this class students learn:
- How to read rhythms
- The notes 'mi re do' and how to play them on the precorder
- How to connect the notes 'mi re do' to the printed notes of B A G on a page of music
Understanding the connection between 'mi re do' and the notes B, A, G enables students to confidently sing a song from the printed page that they have never heard before.
The class is filled with fun activities and games to help your child learn music skills in an engaging way! Each class includes a free, complete follow-along video called Guided Practice, where I guide students through their homework. Parents love this feature!
