Year 4 Music: Notation

February 28, 2020
Year 4 have recently started their new recorder course with Miss Vlasic. To begin, they focused on the note B. They learnt to read it on the stave and the fingers needed to sound the note. Before the first puff into the recorder, they practised clapping the tune, thinking about crotchets, minims and rests in preparation for their first attempt. When they had mastered the song, they practised drawing staves and writing crotchets and minims using only the note B carefully placed it on the 3rd line of the stave. Well done Year 4 for making impressive progress playing the recorder and understanding notation.
