Recorder Flute Practice Page and Helpful Hints
REMEMBER...
If you make a mistake, practice that measure a few times by itself. When you can play that measure correctly three times in a row, try to play the entire piece again correctly.
If you get frustrated, put your recorder away for a few minutes and just sing and clap the rhythm. Try again later after you give yourself a break.
If you feel inspired, compose your own melody on the recorder to share with the class.
If you want a challenge, spend a minute or two improvising on a few notes.
Always end your practice time with a song that you love to play. Give a little concert for your family so they can enjoy your music, too!
