Songs to play on Instruments
If you have a recorder, xylophone, piano, ukulele, guitar, toot/dood, Uncles's bag-pipes or any other pitched instrument, these songs should give you something to play. As a starting point, I've chosen songs we've used at school already. Please be in touch and let me know how it is going for you. The more I hear back from people, the more I can tailor the songs/resources to be helpful and fun.
If you don't have an instrument, there are free piano apps that can be downloaded onto phones/tablets and work quite well!
Old Town Road on Recorder
This guy teaches recorder with a flair that I don't think I will ever have. It's hilarious, but also pretty clear about the important stuff.
Track down your recorder and have fun!
