Price:
$34.95
The primary aim of this new publication is to give students the instruction, support and skills to play and create on the recorder. Making Tracks is born from an active approach to teaching – it makes use of imitation, playing by ear, connections to language and movement, musical exploration and improvisation. As such it is not intended to be used with students reading sheet music placed in front of them. Rather, the teacher guides activities using “Sound Before Sight” and unfolds lessons by echoing, mirroring, call-and-response, small group work and singing games. By following a sequence of Imitation – Exploration – Improvisation, students not only gain skill in the technical aspects of playing recorder, but also an understanding of the elements of music, literacy and composition as they are given opportunities to improvise very early on. The pieces in this book are arranged in a progressively sequential order. Lessons that contain Basic, Intermediate and Advanced options, however, are not meant to be taught sequentially one after the other. Rather, they are intended to be revisited later as skills are gained that match the needs for the lesson.This book can also be used to supplement other classroom music lessons, or in conjunction with other recorder methods. The accompanying DVD contains full-color PowerPoint visuals.Book with DVD.
