Tone and Phrasing - Alto Recorder with Dan Meyers

Continue your alto recorder study with this Second Level course from the American Recorder Society.  This course is a continuation of the beginners' course offered in March. We'll build on the skills we discussed in the first class, and discuss ways to make your airstream more reliable and your sound more beautiful and consistent across the range of the instrument. We'll also look at how to combine a variety of articulations to create musical phrases, and learn some exercises to increase your finger coordination and speed, all while exploring some great repertoire!

Attendees are expected to be able to play low F to high C (an octave and a 5th) including Bb, B natural, and F#, and read those notes and general rhythmic patterns, down to the level of the 8th note, on the music staff. All music will be provided. You don't need to be confident, just familiar with the notes and fingerings; we'll work on increasing your comfort level over the course of the classes. 

Course Dates:
Tuesday, April 21st at 6PM ET (5PM CT, 4PM MT, 3PM PT)
Tuesday, April 22nd at 6PM ET (5PM CT, 4PM MT, 3PM PT)
