In this class, you’ll learn essential skills for playing in a band, orchestra, or ensemble! You’ll continue to build on the skills already acquired in the previous classes on Orff instruments (xylophones, metallophones, and glockenspiels), and begin learning recorder – an excellent precursor to wind instruments like flute, clarinet, or saxophone. Continue building your understanding of music theory concepts through musical games and activities. Practice between classes is highly encouraged and helps you sound the best you can be. For every high-focused, skill-based instrument activity, there is a fast paced and fun movement, dance, or improvisational activity to keep your imaginations and creative engines running at all times! More benefits: Lays a solid foundation for musical aptitude, concentration, and self-confidence. This class provides an excellent foundation for any musical pursuit – this class is a great addition to our Simply Music Piano lessons! This class also prepares you to play in our Orff & Recorder Ensemble with our oldest kids!
