Tin't discover any info online: at what age would you expect a child to be able to consistently blow a annotation on a recorder? I don't mean a specific note, I hateful more often than not whatsoever note rather than just a dud noise.

No child would be doing this in my house - awful noise.
Goostacean Sat 02-Jan-21 18:37:55
That'south a whole separate outcome!
Simply 7?? Really? To just be able to accident into it and go any annotation out?

To blow and get any note out, younger probably. But you said consistently so, 7. OK, 7-viii.

We learned in 1st years junior (y3) and so I remember 7 is reasonable to play a tune.

At schoolhouse concluding twelvemonth there were a few six year olds (year 2) who could play simple tunes well. I wouldn't start a child playing younger unless they showed detail aptitude.

I've taught whole class Y2 recorder, they all got to Jingle Bells by Christmas having started in September. I reckon most 4/5s could also do it fine.
Heed you, I teach 3 year olds the violin and that'south much harder! I but haven't had the desire to teach recorder to little ones.

My dd started the tin whistle at age 6 do assume it's the same.

You lot take to await until they have a degree in music earlier they're let loose with a recorder.
Really though, I'd say a 5 year old would exist able to play a notation consistently.

No no, deplorable, I think I've not been articulate. I mean literally to accident and get a noise/annotation. Not a tune, non covering the holes (any they're chosen... can you tell how musical I am??). I mean only the bravado action and adjusting it to make a racket once they've realised the recorder tin can do that. So, I read that 2 year olds can typically blow out birthday candles- but no help with the specific instance of the instrument. (Sorry!)

I had lessons at 6, moved on to flute a few years later.
DD's school used to do recorder lessons in Y2, and then historic period 6/7.

My 16m old has been able to blow into a recorder and horn and produce a dissonance for a few months now. Is that what y'all mean?

My 3 yr onetime has a penny whistle which works the same as a recorder. She could blow in it and get a (horrific) racket out of it at simply turned ii when she got it. I could have killed my hubby for giving it to her 🙄

My 10 month old knows to blow into a recorder to brand a sound..
How come up you enquire OP?

DS1 could play a couple of notes (as opposed to sounds) at 3.
I play the flute though and so could explain what to do.

If y'all hateful only blow into it to make a sound, my 20 month quondam tin can. Never tried before this calendar week and so don't know how much younger

I learnt to play the recorder the offset day I started master school, aged four and a half, and call back I picked information technology up pretty chop-chop - I started in Jan and the kids who'd started in September had already learnt, and then I only copied them. I still play for my ain entertainment 46 years afterwards!

My 16m old has been able to blow into a recorder and horn and produce a noise for a few months at present. Is that what you lot hateful?
Yes that's what I mean! Thank you. I'm but asking because my one year old (coming up to 13mo) has picked it upward and I was wondering whether that was nearly right developmentally. Sounds like it is, which is reassuring! Really hard these days to gauge everything with their development as we don't see any other babies...

My son could blow into one by about 12 months and play elementary tunes by 4. By 7 he could play Mozart and bedroom music, so some of the above comments surprise me a bit. Even my least musical child could play tunes by then.

After almost 12 months? Only nearly sensible parents make sure they tin't have access to any whistles, recorders or other bravado noise-makers at that age to salvage their own sanity!

At to the lowest degree vii, to learn how to exhale not blow into it, use the tongue and coordinate covering holes to make the dissimilar notes.

Hmmm. It's non really a 'usual' measure.
Mostly, folk don't offer recorders to babies, so 99% of parents wouldn't know.

That really made me laugh

I started at 6 and then started clarinet at 9 and sax at 10.
