La-ti-Da Music

Recorder Lessons: are available for those wanting to learn (adult or child) an instrument but aren't wanting to commit to buying a more expensive instrument such as a flute or piano/ keyboard.  This gives one the opportunity to explore music, learn basics and decide if you'd like to pursue  another instrument more seriously.

La-ti-Da "Recorder Karate"

Children LOVE this program because they get to earn their way from a White Belt to a Black belt and even to a Grand Master in Recorder Karate. Each child is awarded a colored bead hanging from a "belt" on his or her recorder once he or she completes the criteria for that belt. Upon reaching Grand Master level the child is awarded a certificate and"graduates" from Recorder Karate.

This class is designed for elementary ages and teaches the basics of playing the recorder combined with continuing knowledge of music. Children will learn how to play the recorder how to notate and read music and rhythms.  Also taught will be basic ear training, music theory and some music history.  Recorder class is a continuation of basics learned in La-ti-Da's enrichment class where the children take those basics and learn how to apply them musically. This class will also have take home practice, the students own recorder and materials to keep.

Recorder Club

Upon Completion of "Grand Master" a child can join the Recorder Club which meets once a week and works on recorder ensemble pieces.  Children benefit from reading multiple parts, playing as a group.  This really prepares a child for band.
