HOW TO USE
PLAYING THE RECORDER SUPPLEMENTARY REPERTOIRE
Learning to play the recorder is a time-honored tradition for lower grade students. The recorder
is an excellent beginning instrument that can help children to learn to exercise breath control
as well as the finger control that is important in learning a number of other instruments. The
children also learn to match notes on the staff with finger positions, another skill that is very
valuable when learning more complex instruments. Finally, it is simply fun for most children to
make music on an instrument. (Teachers must always be aware of those few children with very
sensitive ears for whom hearing and playing the recorder can be painful.)
