Recorder
Recorder Homework
1. Try to play every day.
2. Practice for half an hour when you can.
3. Practice with no interruptions or background noise. You will concentrate better.
4. Listen to yourself, don’t just play the notes.
5. Don’t practice at 4 AM. Your parents and neighbours may not like it.
6. Play for family and friends when you have mastered a piece.
How to mute a recorder (parents)
Cut a piece of paper the same width as the window on your recorder. Folder the paper so that one quarter is folded backwards. Place the paper into the recorder window with the one quarter tucked inside.

That’s great Phoebe! So can you do it all without looking?
When we move on to C and D it will get a little difficult.

That is terrific! When we perform in week nine we will be standing up so we will need to practice the thumb rock.
The thumb rock is when you rock your finger back instead of lifting it off the recorder.

Mr Rees Ode To Joy is so so so hard and I can not get the four b’s in Mary had a litte lamb. It is very fun and I will keep on practicing for you.

Yes Ode to Joy is difficult though the idea is to challenge you and not give you something that is easy. Practice, Practice, Practice and I am sure you will get it.
The playing is not for me Jess but rather for you. If you practice and practice and never give up then you learn a valuable lesson for later life. Practice = Success.

Mr Rees,
Ode To Joy is kind of hard but I’m kind of getting use to it.
But… I like the song and all of the other songs!
