Cuckoo Recorder Lesson – Song for Teaching E and G in Music Class

Description

This Cuckoo recorder lesson plan is part of my Recorder Cat curriculum for teachers who prefer to start with an E G song instead of BAG. Cuckoo is in a fun call-and-response form, which will also give students time to set their fingers before playing. My students love the lesson format and have learned more songs and notes with this system! Watch the preview video to see how each lesson is scaffolded.
