Thank you for the list of songs that are EG. I will try this next. A new=
track comes on so I am in my second recorder lesson with them. I see tha=
t even though they are in the 5th grade they have the same finger dexterit=
y problems of the 3rd graders. This is an interesting observation for me.=
This means they have never had any finger dexterity challenges. BAG was=
a problem so I moved to BA which was better. When I see them again I wil=
l use low E and G for Star light Star Bright. My ultimate goal for the wi=
nter program is to do MK8's Old English Carol.=20

I decided last year to start my 4th graders on low E first and then G. We=

tons of EG songs before we ever add A and B. I have found they grasp the=

concept of L on top, R on bottom without question. They also seem to have=

better tone on the lower notes and have better hand position from the get-=
go. =20
My very first song is Engine, Engine. Other songs I have used are: Starli=
ght=20
Starbright, Apple Tree, and Doggie Doggie. There are endless EGA songs (w=

you could transpose easily) and it fits perfectly into a pentatonic settin=
