Lili loves all things in the arts... music, singing, dance, movies, theater, drawing, painting, etc.... The list could keep on going. She has been learning to play the recorder, piano and ukalele. She can not choose just one instrument. We have done well with beginning to read music. She can play a few songs on both the recorder and the piano. We have also learned a few chords on the ukalele. We needed to move on from the small book of songs for the recorder. She wants to learn to play songs she knows. While searching for help online to find new sheet music that is still on a beginner level we kept finding all these Youtube videos of children and adults playing the recorder. Lili enjoyed watching them. Then we found some videos that include the notes to play and you play along with. This was wonderful. Lili has never sat and played for that long before. It seemed to really help that she was playing along with someone and could hear how her notes sounded compared to theirs. She has learned a couple new songs from using these Youtube videos. I never would have thought to use Youtube in our school day. Here is a link to one of the Youtube videos she liked. We have subscribed to her and hope to find more videos as we go.
