B B Blues Check: Are your left hand finger and thumb pressing gently on your thumb and B keys? Sarah Watts – Red Hot Recorder

Bluesy B Check: Are you trying to play each passage of music in one breath? Listen to your partner while they play. Can they play each small passage in one breath? Heather Hammond – Funky Flute

Thinking This piece uses new note A. Check your partners fingers while they play. Are they squeezing gently with their first two fingers and thumb?

Merrily... Tip: Can you sing Merrily and move your fingers up and down on the right notes at the same time? Give your partner 2*s and a wish for their playing today
