Everyday Recorder,
Recorder Everyday!

$34.95
This new recorder publication progresses note-by-note incorporating the
soprano recorder into classroom music instruction, and focuses on rote learning,
playing by ear, and improvisation leading to music notation and composition.
The approach aims to reinforce other musical skills while students are learning
to play the recorder, and allows other classroom activities to progress alongside
recorder instruction. The contents of the book may be used all year long
continuing from one grade level to the next.
The note sequence begins with C, A, and D, then progresses to G, B, Low E, Low D, F#, Low C and F. In choosing this sequence Chandler mentions that melodic development in children most often begins with so, mi and la, and that melodies with these notes can be easily accompanied with a simple drone (tonic and fifth) on Orff instruments without the need for harmonic changes. He also points out that the index finger is strongest and easiest to move while the middle finger is anchored to the recorder.
Detailed instruction are given for each of the 10 lessons, most of which cover three class periods. Engaging learning extensions are also included.
The accompanying disc contains
interactive visuals for each lesson in three formats: Smart Notebook, Promethean
ActiveInspire, and Microsoft PowerPoint. While the files in Smart Notebook and
ActivInspire are intended for use with their corresponding interactive whiteboards,
they may also be projected onto any normal screen or whiteboard. The interactive
portions of each lesson would then be manipulated solely from the teacher's
computer.Book with computer disc.
