interesting for the child, she should be taught with the aim of being that which
she is and nothing more, an art, without the intention of achieving other ends.

JUSTIFICATION AND OBJECTIVES

Music is a language, and like language, it communicates something.

music also has its 'grammatical rules', that is, the technique involved in
performance, which can never be underestimated.
Through it, we can work on history, geography, literacy,
mathematics, values, and many other topics in an interdisciplinary way,
meeting the needs of the globalized world we live in and so much more
more attractive than the classroom.

Teaching music with the help of the Recorder brings many benefits such as
like:
Motor coordination and good body posture;
2. Controle do ar e da respiração;
Good sense of time;
4. Sense of organization;
5. Rhythm and melody;
6. Observation and attention;
7. Memory;
8. Language development;
9. Contact with mathematics;
10. Valuing teamwork;
11. Individual expression;
Logical reasoning;
13. Self-discipline and diligence (interest in a task); etc.

Every child is capable, just believe in that!

The recorder work in regular schools can be done with

quality, it is enough for the teacher to have clear objectives and to know how to use the tools

correctly. Never underestimate the abilities of a child, for they

she is also a human being who deserves all respect, and we must always teach her
to respect your colleagues and also the elders.

MATERIAL USED

25 recorders will be needed for the students of the 3rd year A. Each
the instrument will be used individually, as it is a wind instrument,
in which the mouth is used.
The recommended flute for beginners is the Baroque Recorder, this is the
that has the minimum quality to achieve a good sound result.

BRIEF HISTORY OF MUSIC AND THE RECORDER

MUSIC

Music is one of the main elements of our culture. There are indications of
that music has been produced since prehistory, probably as a consequence
from the observation of the sounds of nature. It dates back to around 60,000 B.C.
of a bone flute and from 3000 B.C. the presence of lyres and harps in
Mesopotamia. In the Greek pantheon, for example, Apollo is the deity that governs the
arts. That is why we see several representations of him, in which he holds a lyre. Worth
remember that inAncient Greeceonly music and poetry were considered
artistic manifestations as we understand them today.

Sweet Flute
The instrument originated in Europe, probably in Italy, by
around the year 1300, when it was played together with other instruments of
blow and strings.
Around the year 1600, it also became a solo instrument and had its
its height. The most famous recorder maker at the time was called
Many of Joseph Rottenburg's flutes are now in important
museums and served as inspiration for current flutes.
They were made of selected wood, to produce quality sound.
Currently, flutes are also made of plastic, a material that is easier to be.
preserved and of lower cost.
The most well-known recorder is the soprano recorder, which has a
high-pitched sound. In fact, it belongs to a family that also includes the
contralto, tenor and bass flutes, larger and with a deeper sound. It is the quartet of
sweet flutes, with a shape similar tostring family: violin, viola,
cello and double bass.
The soprano has high sounds, is the most popular, making many
They think she is the only one who is the 'recorder'.

DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LOW AND HIGH SOUNDS?

Pitch is one of the characteristics of sound. It allows us to distinguish a

a sharp sound of a deep sound.
The human ear can distinguish between low and high sounds. For
for example, a woman's voice is higher (thinner) than a man's voice
large (big).
In nature, you can find sharp sounds like the chirping of birds and
grave sounds like the mooing of a cow. In musical notes, a very wide range is recorded.
large sounds that range from very low to very high.

THE MUSICAL NOTES

The musical notes are 7 (seven): do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si.
They represent the tone, variation of bass and treble, of sounds.
It also has ascending and descending order.

SCORE

The score is the written representation of a piece of music. It is made up of

specific symbols that are the musical notes.
Musical notes on the staff or staves.

THE TRICK OF 'TU' OR 'DU'

When you start playing, always say the syllable quietly.

Your tongue is in the correct position to blow.
Each note uses a tongue strike, except for the connected sounds.

Play each note of the 1st scale articulating with ta-te-ti-to-

minus 10 seconds.
After two days, increase to 15 seconds.
After another two days, try to hold the breath for 20 seconds.

LEFT THUMB
In these exercises, you will use only the notes E, G, and A.
Do the following exercise:
Position your fingers for the note E in the 1st octave. Keeping the blow of
a long note, (blow for 10 to 15 seconds, at least).
Open a slit in the hole of the left thumb (only the left thumb)
will be used) leaving open only 1/4 or 1/3 of the hole, so that the sound
it will transform in my 2nd octave. Do this several times during the 10 to 15
seconds (Mi1, Mi2, Mi1, Mi2..., Mi1, Mi2 - the number after the note represents the octave).
Repeat this exercise with the notes G and A! Repeat the exercise for the
minus 10 times in each note. Start memorizing the positions.
 As an addition to the previous exercise, play between each of the notes.
the D note of the second octave - that is: in E for example - play E1, D2, E2,
Ré2, Mi1 (o n° representa a oitava) - Faça a mesma coisa com as notas Sol e Lá!
Normally, with the intensity of the blow on the note E2, one can play up to
Bb2.
You are breathing many times in the middle of a sentence. Normally
when we play songs that people know, we breathe at the same points in

Sometimes we eliminate some breathing points!
Do the long notes exercise on the recorder, but in the following way:
