RECORDER MADNESS Don’t you love it? :-) NICOLE GREGGS, NBCT- EARLY/MIDDLE CHIDLHOOD
RECORDER BELT PROGRAM • FOR EVERY SONG YOU LEARN TO PLAY AND PLAY SUCCESSFULLY, YOU EARN A DIFFERENT COLORED BELT TO TIE ONTO YOUR RECORDER! • The more you practice at home, the faster you make progress toward the ultimate goal- the Master Belt! • The songs are organized from easiest to hardest and do not have written notation in this powerpoint; however in class we will analyze actual music notation. • Each student is expected to work about 5 minutes daily at home on their own and will be tested to determine playing progress. NICOLE GREGGS, NBCT- EARLY/MIDDLE CHIDLHOOD
ORDER OF BELTS & NOTES: • WHITE- NOTES B-A-G • YELLOW- ADD C’ (HIGH C) • ORANGE- ADD D’ (HIGH D) • GREEN- ADD E’ (HIGH E) • PURPLE- ADD D & E (LOW D & E) • BLUE- ADD F# & Bb (f sharp & b flat) • BROWN- ADD F NATURAL • RED- ADD C (LOW C) • BLACK- ADD F’ (HIGH F) • MASTER- PLAY A SONG FROM NOTATION USING ALL NOTES- LEARN ON YOUR OWN!

RECORDER RAP Left hand on top, right hand below. Cover holes completely, don’t over-blow. “Doo” is in; “whoooo!” is out. Always whisper but never shout. NICOLE GREGGS, NBCT- EARLY/MIDDLE CHIDLHOOD
HOW TO GET A GOOD SOUND: • Follow the ideas in the Recorder Rap. • Touch your tongue behind your front teeth to separate notes (doo doo doo)- don’t use puffs of breath (whoo whoo whoo). This is called TONGUING THE NOTES. NICOLE GREGGS, NBCT- EARLY/MIDDLE CHIDLHOOD
PLAYING POSITIONS: • REST (on neck or floor, not on lips) • PRACTICE (on chin, fingers covering holes as directed) • PLAYING (on lips, fingers covering holes as directed) NICOLE GREGGS, NBCT- EARLY/MIDDLE CHIDLHOOD

MASTER BELT INFO. ONCE YOU ACHIEVE BLACK BELT, Mrs. Greggs will assign you one song from a music book that you must learn completely on your own. This includes counting the rhythm and playing the correct pitches on the staff without her help. If you are able to play the song correctly, you earn your braided cord and may move on to study alto recorder! NICOLE GREGGS, NBCT- EARLY/MIDDLE CHIDLHOOD
THE END! • THANKS FOR PLAYING ALONG! • HOPE YOU HAD FUN! NICOLE GREGGS, NBCT- EARLY/MIDDLE CHIDLHOOD
