If you are looking for a great way to teach dynamics and music vocabulary, it doesn’t get more exciting than Grizzly Bear from My Trip to the Mountains book/CD! Even the youngest love to Crescendo! There are several options to act out this humorous song, popular for children 2-6 years old.
Now, listen below as beginning recorder players combine with the advanced players and create the winds of the Andes Mountains, Viento de los Andes from our recent Recorder Festival. Thanks to the awesome teacher Kathy Lucey and her ensemble who played with the music Rhapsody ensemble. This arrangement is from Carol King (my level 2 and 3 Orff levels recorder teacher ♥♥♥) Worldwinds Recorder Ensemble Book Vol. 1. The kids LOVE this piece!
