Looking back I'm actually confused why this was even a thing. Did Big Recorder have deals with schools to push this? Is Big Recorder a thing?
We only ever used them for like 3 weeks and then it was on to the next thing. Haven't touched it since.
They weren't really teaching you how to play the recorder, they were teaching you how to read music. The recorder was just the cheapest, least complicated way to connect the notes you read to sounds you could hear.
We didn't learn to read music (I learned from separate piano lessons...)
They just had diagrams of where to put your fingers and then the letters of the note, not actual notes on a clef...
