Musicianship from Day One TM

TM

by Sandy Feldstein and Larry Clark

Welcome to The Yamaha Advantage Recorder Plus TM

This method will teach you to play the recorder by having fun singing and playing your favorite songs. After learning to play the recorder, you may wish to learn to play a band or orchestral instrument. To help you make your choice, The Yamaha Advantage Recorder Plus Method includes information about many instruments. TM

The optional CD accompaniment for this book is recorded by a great band. The CD will also give you an example of how your instrument should sound, as well as the other instruments you might like to play. It will also provide hours of enjoyable play-along experiences. (CD available separately.) Have a great time making music.

The instruments of today’s band and orchestra are divided into four INSTRUMENT FAMILIES. The WOODWIND FAMILY (not all are made of wood), the BRASS FAMILY, the PERCUSSION FAMILY and the STRING FAMILY. Throughout this book we will take a closer look at some instruments from each of the families.

line 5 line 4 line 3 line 2 line 1

space 4 space 3 space 2 space 1

At the beginning of each staff there is a clef. The treble clef encircles the second line which is the note G and is sometimes called the G clef.

MEASURE AND BAR LINES Music is divided into measures by bar lines. Double bar lines end a piece of music.

TIME SIGNATURE At the beginning of a piece of music there is a time signature. It tells you how many beats are in each measure and what note gets one beat.

The FLUTE, which is made of metal, is a member of the woodwind family and plays the high notes in band and orchestra music. The flute is played by blowing across the open hole in the mouthpiece, much like you might blow across the top of a bottle to make a sound. The air that goes into the instrument vibrates to produce the flute sound. To play sounds (notes) that are higher or lower, you release or depress the keys.

The CLARINET, which is made of wood, is a member of the woodwind family. The clarinet is played by blowing across a reed made of wood (cane), which is attached to the mouthpiece. The reed vibrates and sends the vibrations through the instrument to produce the clarinet sound. To play sounds (notes) that are higher or lower, you release or depress the keys.

F

To play F, you add the right hand. There are two fingerings for F. Just adding the first finger of the right hand is okay; but if you also add your third and fourth fingers, the note will sound more in tune.

Skipping to and from F requires movement of fingers in both hands. Practice this exercise slowly before playing Goodbye, Old Paint.

The SAXOPHONE, which is made of brass, is a member of the woodwind family. Like the clarinet, the saxophone is played by blowing across a reed made of wood (cane), which is attached to the mouthpiece. The reed vibrates and sends the vibrations down through the instrument to produce the saxophone sound. To play sounds (notes) that are higher or lower, you release or depress the keys.

The SNARE DRUM is made of wood or metal. It has a drum head on both the top and bottom. It also has wire snares which lightly touch the bottom drum head. It is played by striking the top head of the drum with a stick. The head vibrates and sends the vibrations through the drum to the bottom head which also vibrates, causing the snares to vibrate which produces the snare drum sound.
