I wanted a recorder fingering chart that combined the staff, note name and an image of how to play the pitch but I couldn't find anything online that I liked or was large enough to be seen across the room. I created these posters for my classroom and the kids reference them all the time. I only have these up but I made an entire set with flats and sharps included.
Do you have a template for your recorder guys that you can share? They are so cute!
ReplyDeleteI teach in a corner of our cafeteria and like to put things up that the kiddos can see when they are in the room for lunch, too. I didn't realize how much children looked at my wall posters until a class of kids that I had seen in their room for music their 2nd gr. year knew more than expected about a lesson their 3rd grade year. They just said they remembered because they had seen and read about it during lunch the previous year.
I made my own recorder guys out of a template I drew but the inspiration came from Norm Sands "Recorder Dude". You can actually purchase them through Music K-8, here's the link: http://www.musick8.com/store/alphadetail.php?product_group=2902#.Ues_F2TF0kc. I added the coordinating staff, I think I have that template somewhere in my files, and mounted them on black paper.
DeleteIt's amazing how much kids learn from looking at the decor!
