The basic program is designed for 14 weekly half hour lessons, supplemented by at-home or in-class practice. Students learn to play the songs on the recorder, accompanied by preprogrammed music played on an electronic keyboard (see Materials.) Each lesson introduces a song or significant section of a song, as well as related terminology, musical concepts and background information.

If you wish, you can easily modify the length of the course, the lessons, or the frequency of the lessons.  See Lessons - Tailored to your individual needs.

From the very first lesson, students are reading music and playing a familiar song, using performance enhancements.

At the end of the course, your students  ...
►Will be able to play and perform more than a dozen terrific, recognizable, sophisticated songs on the recorder.
►Will know recorder fingering for at least fourteen notes and will be able to use a fingering chart to play notes they haven't learned.
►Will know how to read and write music.
►Will know about composers and styles of songs.
►Will understand basic musical concepts.
►Will understand basic principles of sound.
►Will appreciate their own musical ability and the musicianship of their classmates.
