  7. Power point created for students at Lake Avenue by Linda Abbott-July 2006. Material is based on a contribution to the Music K8 list by Martha Stanley. Her original post is listed on the following slide.

  8. Sometime in November, I had a brainstorm.  I had a gut feeling  that if kids knew what legato, staccato and slur were BEFORE they  played recorder that they'd play better.     So I resolved to teach, really teach, those words as vocabulary  words.  Had them write them down, tell what each is in one's own  words, draw a picture of each, create a way to remember each one, acted  it out, etc. We would listen to my played or sung examples to figure  out which was which.     I created a ppt slide that said:   Legato   thoo------------thoo-------------thoo-------------  except the lines were wavy like a melody.   Staccato  thoot  - - - -  thoot - - -   thoot  - - - -  with wavy lines   Slur :  thooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo with a wavy line     When we got ready to do recorders, I would illustrate, demonstrate, remonstrate ... I started out with "the tongue is your 11th  finger.  You HAVE to use it to play well."    Taught the word "articulation."     Suddenly, using the tongue had a reason! One they could hear and duplicate.     Whenever we played, we would play the tune legato, staccato and then slurred.     Now when kids play their recorder belts, they come in to my room and I  hear them warming up, usually staccato, remembering fingering.   Then they start doing it legato. I have noticed that when they are  picking out a melody, they just blow it note by note and when they  start "getting it, " they are then ready to do it legato, and they do  it, mostly with little reminding.     They really do play nicely.  The legato playing turns all those  little pieces of sound into music.  And they DO notice.     I will ALWAYS stress legato, staccato and slur before I intro recorders from now on.
