1. Review of making articulated sounds on the recorder
2. Learned first 3 notes Do-Re-Mi in stepwise motion
a. Discussed the 3rd finger use and how if not depressed properly can
cause the instrument to squeak
b. Talked about the importance of playing with both hands on the recorder even when one
of the hands does not need to finger a note as the other hand lends support to help
seal the finger holes correctly

THERE ARE ONLY 12 DIFFERENT KEYS THAT WE NAME ON A KEYBOARD WHICH ARE CALLED THE "CHROMATIC SCALE"
