Subject Recorder Lesson
Hi Joshua,
Thanks for your mail. I must apologise for not writing to you earlier. It's because I have been
very busy adjusting my life in the city.
My new school here is huge with many classes and many activities to join. I have joined
the Music Club as one of my co-curricular activities. The teacher in charge is our music
teacher, Miss Leow. We are learning the recorder now. The lesson is held once a week.
The recorder is an instrument that belongs to the wind family of instruments. They can be
made of wood or plastic. In school, we use the plastic ones because they are cheap and
easy to maintain. First, we learn how to hold the recorder with our hands and where to
position our fingers. We must cover the holes with our fingers, and the left thumb must cover
the hole at the back of the recorder.
The first three notes we learn were B, A, G, and we could blow the songs, Hot Cross Buns
and Mary Had A Little Lamb. I really enjoy the lesson. If you are interested to know more
about the recorder, you may log on to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recorder.
Let's keep in touch. Take care.
Regards, Alvin
