Artist Ahead Learn the recorder with Lotti & Ben! - Susanne Hossain

Learn the recorder with Lotti & Ben! The child-friendly recorder school for children aged 3 and over - the loving, easy introduction with songs, texts, music and painting games (including audio download + piano accompaniment)

• Playful, intuitive learning in a musical context
• Easy access to rhythms & melodies through language, song & movement
• With large musical notation and no confusing accidentals
• With songs, texts, music and painting games
• With piano accompaniment

This recorder school is aimed at children from 3 years of age in kindergarten and primary school and is suitable for both individual and group lessons. In small, careful steps, the children, accompanied by their friends Lotti & Ben, learn the blowing technique and the basics of musical notation in a playful way. The notes C' to D'' are gradually introduced and from the third note learned, the children are already able to make music together in two voices. The individual parts of the songs as well as an attractive piano accompaniment can be downloaded in the download area. This means the children can experience the songs with all their senses by clapping, speaking, singing or through movement. By playing along to the music, the little beginners also have the opportunity to feel like “real” musicians. There are no limits to the creativity of children and teachers. Music and painting games make learning the flute more fun and perfectly round off the educational concept of “Learn the recorder with Lotti & Ben!”
