Five Ways to Encourage a Beginner Musician:
1 Ask them what they are learning to play
2. Ask them to play it for you
3. Smile as you watch and listen
4. Clap when they finish
5. Call someone & have them play it again
Bonus Tip: Repeat all steps 1 thru 5 after each lesson

@team_recorder I feel how you look right now after my very first dress rehearsal with my students!

Rev. Henderson of #drugfreebaltimore and @cherylcrockett of #blockbyblockflute visited @bannerneighborhoods #summercamp to talk about #drugabuseprevention awareness & #prescriptionsafety. #bmpreblockflute #recorderjourney #recorderplayer #musiclessons #eastbaltimore

Every musician, no matter what instrument, sounds horrible as a beginner. The more practice, the better they sound. The household should do their best to hang on through the initial noisy period.
It only gets better.

1st exposure to illegal drugs happens around age 11 in the US, but a crawling baby can accidentally become exposed to legal medicines at home, a decade earlier.

As a “Blue Moon” approaches, we promise not to “Bourrée” you, but leave you “Happy”, singing an “Ode to Joy”! Certainly Mary and her little lamb have already R.S.V.P.’d and the “Baby Sharks” are coming to do what they do-do-do!

Block By Blockflute students are working hard on the music to be featured in our summer recital. #amazinggracelutheranchurch #recorderjourney #bmoreblockflute #recordermusicinbaltimore #cclt #mcelderry #eastbaltimore #drugabuseprevention #musiclessons #amazingportstreet

Students and their families are encouraged to have a conversation about drug safety. Communicate what is expected of every member of the household & revisit the topic regularly.

One day, a child who takes the recorder seriously now, will enroll in an American college or university that takes the recorder seriously; they will earn a degree & empower the generation after them to take
the recorder
seriously.
