New Scales and New Songs
Our student was keen to share some of his new favourite songs to listen to this week, and was equally keen to get back on to the recorder. He had practiced the finger placement we worked on the previous week, and was keeping his rhythm consistent between notes. This week we focused more on melody and scales, devoting time to solfege, and then playing that same scale on the recorder. With our student playing in the full range of the recorder now, we brought in a new song: Do You Want to Build A Snowman, from Frozen. We got halfway through the song, and I have no doubt he will have it well-practiced for next week!
