This is our first recorder lesson. Here we have a picture showing the fingering for our first note "B".
Cover the hole on the back of your recorder with your left thumb.
Cover the first hole on the front of your recorder with the first finger of your left hand.
Place the thumb of your right on the back of your recorder behind the forth hole.
Place the recorder to your lips and blow gently.
Listen to Michelle Play a "B"

If you play the track you can hear what we are going to play.
The track starts with the Wood Block playing 2 Bars to show us the tempo (the speed we are going play at).
See if you can follow the music when you listen.
When you are ready, Join in, and ***welcome to the Band***
When we are learning a new Piece of music we always play a little bit slower than the piece would usually be
played. Our first version of All About Te Beezzzzzz is our learning or Practise version. The second is our
Performance Version, which is a little Quicker and, as you can see, we play it through 4 times.
