Young Child 4

WEEK 1:

Here we are in our last semester of Kindermusik! And the Gateway Foundation’s first group of Young Child students will be graduating at the end of this semester! I enjoy playing with this little class.

We started working with recorders this week- our practice with a woodwind instrument. This semester we will also experience music of several cultures and composers, telling stories with instruments, ensemble playing, and musical forms.

At home this week, help your child review the proper way to hold and play the recorder. Remember to practice speaking the “too” sound before actually playing into the mouthpiece! And read Music at Home 46 for more ideas on how to begin with the recorder.
