    Procedure:

    Pitch Level Designation/ Set Up


    [Recorders art REST]
    “From our three pitches, B/A/G, which pitch is the highest?” - B
    “Which is the lowest?” - G
    “When I have my hand up here [top of head], play the highest note we know: B.
    When I have my hand here [at neck], play A. When I have my hand here [under rib
    cage], play our lowest note: G”
    Have hand flat like solfege mi. “Karate chop” air to indicate a new note.
    “As you watch my hand move up and down, play the notes for as long as my
    hand is in that spot. When I put my hand in a fist, stop playing.”
    Show the hand signs and ask students what we do when it is shown.
    Rote Song
    [Recorders at CHIN]
    “Ready?” Place hand at starting note, B, with closed fist. Say “1, 2, ready, play”
    and chop air to indicate first note.
    Go through the entire song at about 60 bpm.
    [Recorders at REST]
    After the song, ask the students if they know what song they just played.

    Transition
    Have the students sing the song while moving their hand up and down with the
    note changes while going to change to the bored with the sheet music.
    Help them by doing it as much as possible while still transitioning

    Sheet Music
    “Now we are going to play the music faster. But first, lets say the note names as I
    point to them.”
    Try to keep a steady tempo and keep the pointing in rhythm.
    [Recorders at CHIN]
    “Lets play it, looks at the notes on the board, at this tempo…” [sing two bars at
    tempo] “Okay. 1, 2, ready, play…”
    Point while students play.

    Closing
    End by telling the students a couple good things that they were doing, and at
    least one area for them to work on/keep in mind for next time.
