Play! Recorders in the Classroom

The recorder was first documented in the Middle Ages and for generations has been a popular instrument to teach to children because it is easy to learn and produces a clear, sweet sound. In Waldorf schools, recorder playing is part of everyday life in the classroom. This companion to the students' guide for pupils in Class 3 contains simple and happy songs to play with children. It helps the teacher understand how to play themselves and introduces some simple finger and breathing techniques.
