Music for children

Music teacher Becky Syratt takes young children (aged 6 to 9) on a journey to understand the basics of music, and then specifically how to start to play some of the key instruments: piano, guitar, and recorder.

With the help of Trudi Treble and Barry Bass, you can teach children the language of music, the clefs, the stave, the notes and rhythm, with great games along the way, such as making your own edible stave and notes with strawberry laces and smarties or M&Ms. It gives detailed advice such as how to hold a recorder properly for very young children to using a chocolatey finger to learn how to blow into the instrument.
