Stories, poetry, rhymes, and chants are a staple in elementary classroom music. These literary forms can be a fine complement to recorder instruction. Developing technique on recorder, as with any instrument, requires a certain amount of repetition. Stories and poetry can be the perfect vehicle for this repetition. The repetition is embedded in the activity, thereby alleviating the need for boring drill. Whether it is a single note, a combination of notes or an entire melody, this book contains examples for each type of repetition. Stories and poetry can also be used as an effective tool for creativity, by providing inspiration and parameters. In addition, stories can be used to tie together several short melodies for a performance or a review.

In this book, you will find examples where recorder is combined with rhymes, chants, sayings, poems, stories that I created, and storybooks. Included with purchase is a link to download a PowerPoint for each lesson.
