INTRODUCTION

Recorders come in various sizes, with

Sopranino being the smallest of them all. It

also plays the highest pitch amongst all the

recorders.

There are plenty of teaching materials

available for the teaching of descant /

soprano and treble / alto recorders but very

little resources for Sopranino. Hence I have

written this little instruction manual for music

teachers who would like to teach the

Sopranino recorder. It is meant to be a

starting point for small children with little or

no knowledge of music theory.

Each Unit of work is complete with an

introduction to some very fundamental music

theory activity and should last about 45

minutes or more. Every subsequent lesson

should start with a revision of what is being

taught the previous lesson to reinforce the

concepts learnt.

The Units / Lesson plans outlined here can

be used with a small group of about 8 to 10

pupils or with individuals.

PREREQUISITES

The lessons in this book are presented on

the assumption that the teachers using them

already have a sound knowledge of good

postures , the correct hand positions for

holding a recorder, proper breathing

techniques and basic fingering.

Materials provided are Exercise Sheets,

Units / Lesson Plans ( with objectives )

and Suggestions of Songs and Fingering

charts** for both G major scales and F major

scales.

If you need to know more about advanced

recorder techniques and music theory, visit

the web site at

www.dolmetsch.com .They

have the most comprehensive and

What age should my students be to start

learning the Sopranino recorder?

Not every preschool child will be ready to

begin recorder instruction as the maturity

level of 4 to 5- year olds varies greatly. Girls

are generally better coordinated and have

better dexterity at an earlier age.

So instead of plunging headlong into

lessons, one should consider the readiness

of the students by considering the following:

* Is his/her attention span long enough to

practise at least 5 to 10 minutes a day to

begin with?

* How is his / her small muscle coordination

like? Can the child hold a pencil well enough

to write alphabets?

* Can the child recognize simple alphabets

from A to G?

* Can the child count 1 to 4?

* Are the fingers long enough to cover all the

holes on the Sopranino recorder?

If a majority of these prerequisites are

missing, it is better to wait a little longer

before starting the child on lessons.

Tips: Always make sure you are able to get

the Sopranino recorders before starting your

classes.

Reason: Sopranino recorders go out of stock

easily.

Tips: For group instruction, it is better to

order the same type / model of recorders

for every single child in the group.

Reason: Different models have slight

variations in tones and timbre. Some pupils

may get German fingering while others may

get Baroque fingering recorders.

Tips: To print the music score from the

lesson plans, you can use your mouse, drag

it over the score to select it first. Then

choose print and on your print dialogue box,

choose "print selection". To print the lesson

for more information.

plan, I suggest you select the left pane - print

that out first. Then proceed to select the right

pane before printing it out.

** The Fingering charts provided are different from

the ones usually used by other recorder books or

provided with the recorder. It is in scale format.

When placed flat next to the player, the pattern is

easier to duplicate on the recorder than the

"mirror image" format used by most other

fingering charts. Great for small kids.

Words from the Author

The eBook of lesson plans for the teaching of Sopranino Recorder is developed:-



to serve as a guide for busy music teachers who wish to introduce / incorporate this

instrument into their normal weekly music lessons



to serve as a guide for recorder teachers who have always been teaching descant /

soprano recorders and would like to try their hands at introducing Sopraninos



to serve as a guide to teachers who wish to start a recorder club teaching young

children / beginners to play this instrument

Although there are ten lesson plans featured here, feel free to break them up to twenty or

even thirty to suit your pupils' needs. You can adapt them in any way. You may like to start

by teaching them the E, D, C notes of the left hand and then the higher notes F and G first

instead of following the sequence. You may also wish to introduce the F sharps so that pupils

can play the complete scales of F major and G major on their recorders.

Many of the exercises and tunes / songs are conveniently created for the purpose of fulfilling

the teaching / instruction needs for learning different fingerings. Much care has been taken

not to infringe on the copyright of others. Any resemblance of these created music to any

actual ones that may exist anywhere is unintentional and purely coincidental.

The letter names for the notes used will be represented as follows:

(lowest)F,G,A,Bb,C,D,E,F',G'(highest)

UNIT 1

INTRODUCTION

Teacher preparation:

Read up more about Sopranino recorders.

Familiarise yourself with the fingerings used.

In all these lessons, German Fingering

system is being used because it is easier to

master by a very young child. If you prefer to

use Baroque Fingering system instead,

please make changes in the instructions

about fingerings on the Exercise sheets

regarding the notes B and B-flat.

To arouse pupils' interest, you could show

them the different recorders that are

available, like the descant, treble, tenor or

even bass. Explain to them that if they learn

the Sopranino recorder well, they will find it

easier to play the treble recorder when they

are older.

Objectives:

[a] Pupils to recognize / feel beats in

melodies.

[b] Pupils to listen to tapes or CDs of

recorder music.

[c] Pupils to practise correct posture while

sitting or standing.

[d] Pupils to understand how to hold a

recorder properly.

[e] Pupils to be able to produce a pleasant

tone for one pitch (E note).

Resources: Sopranino recorders , Exercise

sheet, Beat Circle chart (make your own)

PROCEDURE:

Tuning In: Teacher shows the Beat Circle

chart. Pupils clap to the beats while teacher

points to each circle. Teacher varies the

speed. Pupils sing to "tu" a simple tune,

clapping the beat, while the teacher points to

the beat on the Beat Circle.

[1] Show pupils the various different

recorders (e.g.. descant, treble).

[4] Demonstrate proper posture when sitting /

standing to play recorder.

[5] Demonstrate proper way / hand positions

to hold a recorder.

[6] Explain how to get a nice tone on the

recorder by blowing gently (use E note) /

Show the correct fingering to get the sound.

[7] Each pupil to try out playing on the

recorder. Teacher to listen and check that

every single person is able to achieve at

least a good sound. Check for air leakage or

improper blowing if sound is squeaky.

[8] Introduce the note "E" on the staff.

[9] Imitation activity : Teacher plays some

rhythms as indicated on the Exercise sheet

while pupils follow on the recorders. (note:

saying the letter name Bflat.

Play the Bflat notes on the recorder line after

line.

[8] Clap the rhythm for songs 5 and 6. Teach

the two songs - singing the words , singing

the letter names, singing to "tu" while

fingering the recorder and finally playing /

blowing gently on the recorder.

Summary: Ask for volunteers to to play

rhythms for E, D, C and Bflat notes from

Sopranino (1,2,3,4) Ask for volunteers to

create some rhythms based on the four

notes learnt and play them on the recorder.

Show the fingerings on your recorder and get

pupils to put the corresponding notes on the

staff.

Practice points:

Pupils must practise to get good sound on E

note, D note, C note and B-flat note with

proper hand positions. ( 10 - 15 minutes a

day ) Pupils to practise with the aid of

Exercise sheets 1,2,3 and 4 to strengthen

rhythm concepts. Pupils to practise songs 5

and 6 and try to memorise songs 1 to 4.

Tips:



Do not rush through the lessons. It is

better to go slow if pupils are not ready.

It is all right to carry part of the lesson

forward if your pupils need more help in

certain areas.

concepts really challenging while

others may become so interested as to

venture out to learn new fingerings and

play new tunes on their own!



Get some of the rules straight with

regards to when pupils listen and when

they have to stop playing. Practise

your signals regularly if needed. Pupils

at this stage sometimes get so

engrossed in their playing and

demonstrating to their friends that they

are not aware what the teacher is

saying or teaching.

Tips:



Remind pupils to keep their fingers flat

over the holes and not to cover the

holes with their finger tips.



Remind pupils to blow very gently and

tongue each note well. As they will be

learning notes of lower pitch, it is

important to stress the need to blow

gently or else the notes may not come

out correctly in tune.



Some pupils may slip into bad habits

as the music gets more challenging

and forget how they should be holding

their recorders. Check that their right

hand thumb should always be

supporting the recorder with the other

right hand fingers near and ready to

cover any holes they may need to play.

songs if they have any, songs that

have notes that fall within the range of

all the notes that they have learnt.

Pupils may learn some of these

additional songs during their recorder

lessons.



Pupils must be taught to treat their

recorders with care and to clean / dry

them well after playing. This is

especially important if the recorder is

made of wood.



If the recorder is played in a room

temperature that is too cold, the

recorder should be sufficiently warmed

up first before playing. Condensation

forming in the slot of the windway will

seriously impair the sound.



When playing low notes, one must not

blow too hard or tongue too strongly as

it will cause the notes to squeak and

jump an octave. (This is the most

common problem I have with my

pupils.)

Transpose them if necessary. It is

easier to sustain the interest of children

with an interesting repertoire suitable

for their age. (Children generally like

bright colours and happy music. Most

do not prefer music in minor mode.)



Many pupils tend to equate pressing

very hard on the holes to covering

them tighter to better prevent air

leakage. Hence they may get very

tense during playing. The correct way

is to let the fingers lay flat firmly on the

holes. There is no need to exert too

much pressure.
