Classes
The Great Recorder Challenge
Open to all third and fourth graders. Our unique Suzuki based program makes learning to play an instrument fun. Students are taught using the Suzuki Method, "learning through listening". The program incorporates learning about different cultures and it's history. Each week the children are given a "challenge" such as making up a song that sounds like ice cream melting, or playing a song while lying on your back. At the conclusion of each six week session, children perform with the adults in concert providing them with confidence which can apply to all areas of life.
All rehearsals take place at First Lutheran Church, 153 Park Street, Montclair. Handicapped accessible. Please contact info@montclairearlymusic for more information.
Adult Beginner Class - no previous music experience necessary
Taught through Montclair Adult School. Come see what fun it is to play the recorder!
This class offers the perfect opportunity for those who played an instrument at one time in their life or have never played an instrument and have a burning desire to do so. The recorder is easy to learn and comes in various voices — Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass — making it easy to form an ensemble. Playing music with others is a special experience.
