Hi! I need help with understanding the recorder notes for the song 'When The Saints Go Marching In'. Can you help?
Absolutely, it would be my pleasure to help you. The song is quite popular and can be played on the recorder using the notes ABC, the high C, and G. It also contains half notes and quarter notes. Let's take it step by step.
Great! Can we start from the beginning of the song?
Surely. For the first line 'Oh When the Saints go marching in', you can play the notes in this order:
G A G E | D D.
Alright. That seems simple enough. What about the second line 'Oh lord I want to be in that number' ?
The second line 'Oh lord I want to be in that number' goes like this: A A B A G F# | G.. In this line, 'G..' denotes a half note which lasts for two beats.
Amazing! Thank you so much, Homework Helper. I think I can try it on my recorder now.
Great! I'm sure you'll do well. Remember, practice makes perfect. If you need any further help, feel free to ask. Happy practicing!
