Reasons why I use the little sopranino recorder in my lessons

Posted by Lynn Kleiner March 23, 2023 - Filed in Activities - #Music lesson plans #early childhood #exploration #elementary orff #Orff and recorder - 559 views
The reasons I love using sopranino recorder in my lessons - Orff Exploration Time, a musical start and stop signal!

This handy little tool is a part of my online and live training course and used in my lesson plans, both elementary and early childhood. Here's some reasons why, then check out the video example, a demo with Lynn Kleiner and Music Rhapsody Teachers.

The video link below will show you a Training Demonstration , Lynn Kleiner and Music Rhapsody Teachers featuring Ev’ry Morning, which was introduced to Lynn by Avon Gillespie.

Training and Lesson Plans from Music Rhapsody offer a curriculum that includes Orff instruments. A musical little signal for “Free play” time is used by the teacher.

For those of you in online training or coming this summer to Redondo Beach CA or SMU, Dallas Texas, a few wonder why the sopranino recorder (for you, not your students) is included in our playing time!

I want to share my reasons for using a sopranino recorder.

Its easy to play and easy to add to our music making (even just 4 notes works well!)
- It adds a start and stop signal for an exploration time without all the structure of playing specific bars at a specific time.
- Adds musicality, form and phrasing to student’s exploration (chaos! Lol!) time.
- It takes up very little space in my book bag.
- It is stored all in one piece. You do not have to put it together (like you would a flute)
- You do not have to swab it out, etc.
- The cost for a wonderful high quality plastic sopranino is very reasonable.
- It is much higher sounding than the soprano recorder so can easily be heard when the children are playing, especially that high C that we like to save for the clear signal to end!
- We introduce soprano recorders in our Recorder Rookies lesson plans for older elementary students after they have completed Young Musicians, Rhythm Readers and Melody Makers so I like to say “Someday I will teach you to play recorder too! Your first recorder will be a little bigger than this one.” Giving them something to look forward to is motivating!
