A Strong Musical Start

Though our sessions on the recorder were initially marked by some technical difficulties with the Zoom audio, our student was excited to learn and play. She was quite adept at getting sounds out of the recorder, though she struggled a bit with fingering positions. We went through a few rhythm exercises and BAG songs much more quickly than I expected, and our student’s caregiver was invaluable in providing encouragement when she felt frustrated with the instrument. Though she hasn’t continued with the recorder, I hope that this experience nevertheless planted a seed of musical inspiration, so that she can continue where she left off.
