Prepare, Practice, Present: A “Sound Before Sight” Approach to Recorder
Presented by: Rachel Grimsby, Ph.D. Candidate
Michigan State University
Sponsored by
GIA Publications, Inc. Chicago
“Singing is the instinctive language of the child.” -Zoltán Kodály
Singing Games (1937)
“Vocal proficiency should be developed before instrumental applications.” -John Feierabend (1998)
Sequence of Units
Unit 1- du and du-de Unit 6 - quarter rest Unit 11- fa Unit 2- du-da-di and du• Unit 7 - half note Unit 12 – D major Unit 3 – du di Unit 8 – dotted quarter rest Unit 13 – du da/ C Major Unit 4 – do re mi* Unit 9 – dotted half note Unit 5 – sol Unit 10 – la
How to use this Method
1. This method may be used by teachers who are unfamiliar with the 12-step process of Conversational Solfege but are looking for a sequential teaching method that promotes music literacies and builds a foundation for instrumental performance skills.
2. This method may be used by teachers who are familiar with Conversational Solfege and wish to begin recorder instruction with Unit 4. Teachers should use the recorder to reinforce the 12-step process for each unit.
Things to Remember
1. Be sure the ear is in place before the instrument is in hand. 2. Speak/Sing before playing patterns/songs on the instrument. 3. Sing/Play for the students, not with the students. 4. Developmental not Chronological

Facebook/Feierabend Fundamentals The chief aim of the Feierabend Approach is to build community through music by evoking enthusiastic participation of all people. To that end this approach strives for all people to become tuneful, beatful and artful through research based and developmentally appropriate pedagogies that use quality literature. Ideally begun in early childhood, these goals remain of primary importance at any age as they serve as the foundation for all further musical development. Accomplish these goals by first learning authentic folk songs and folk dances (music and movement created by a community for the purpose of encouraging community participation). Further the understanding and appreciation of music through making connections from folk songs and dances to masterworks. Learning notation, playing instruments and giving performances are secondary goals and should be introduced only after individuals become tuneful beatful and artful. Present notation only after rhythm and melodic elements are aurally (conversationally) understood through the use of rhythm syllables and solfege syllables. Express music through instruments rather than use instruments to become musical. The mission of the Feierabend Organization is to promote and create print and electronic resources that further develop these ideas, to promote seminars and teacher certification training that encourage these ideas and to organize regional, national and international conferences that proliferate and expand on these ideas.
