Recorder
Hey, hey, go back. I’ve just done the whole floor, so don't walk over it with your shoes!
But someone is outside, playing a flute!
Yes, I hear it. Go out the other side to play.
But I want to use this door!
Go out the back door!
But who is it playing the flute?
I have no idea.
And wipe your feet when you come back!
Hi.
Are you playing the flute? - A German Flute.
My, how well you can play!
Let’s see what I have for you.
Here
Thanks very much - My pleasure.
Mom!
Mom, Mom!!
Yes?
I want a Flute.
A Flute?
Gijs-Jans sister has one!
Hmm, I think that you're a little young at the moment. Maybe in a couple of years.
But I want it NOW.
You always want something new. Last time you wanted to do Judo.
No, I only want a Flute.
Lets wait for now and if you still want one next year then I’ll talk to Dad about it.
But I want it NOW.
I want a Flute.
Awww Mom. Please, can I have a Flute?
I don't want to hear that again. I’ve worked hard and want a bit of peace.
Aww mom, please, please can I have one.
Wipe your feet!
Go do it!
...and then I kicked the ball to Pete, he scored and the referee said that he was offside!
It WAS offside!
It was a good pass!
You should score yourself!
Yeah, right. You never score!
Not true
Oh yeah?
Now boys, that’s not a nice conversation.
Tim, have you had a good day?
Guess what I want to be? I want to be a flute player!
Then you need flute lessons.
Shouldn't I have said that?
How was school today?
Good.
I’ve got a surprise for you!
Oh?
Is it a flute?
Take a look!
Oh yes. A flute.
It’s a Blokfluit (Recorder)
It’s easier to begin with.
And as you get better and want to continue with it, then we can get you a proper flute.
Do you want to hear it?
Like this...
Good, eh?
Who goes to bed later, a Bunny Rabbit or a crocodile?
A Rabbit.
No, a crocodile because he must clean his teeth for longer.
Ah, yes.
Ah, you must be Tim.
Yes.
You're nicely on time.
Precisely on time
...as we're just finished with the Flute Lessons.
Have a good time.
Ok.
Come with me, Tim.
Ok, just wait here for a moment.
Bye Miss.
Hi. Tim.
Come through now children.
Hold the recorder with 3 fingers on the top holes and the thumb on the bottom hole.
That’s good, Girls.
Tim, here is your blue sticker and hold it nice and loosely.
Now we're going to play a lovely piece.
Red, red, red, yellow, blue, blue, blue.
Loosely, Tim
...loose...
All the notes have their own color Red, Yellow, Blue.
Now, follow my lead.
No, that’s not good. - Tim, I’d like to hear you alone.
That’s not the notes, Tim.
Concentrate on the colors.
Now, there is spit on your recorder. Here, clean it with this brush.
There is a sink in the corridor.
Well done Girls.
Red, red, red
Yellow, Blue, blue, blue
Can I play with Tim?
Tim must practice. He can't play.
He's doing recorder lessons.
Go and watch him for a moment.
Have you got to practice?
Yes
I think recorders are stupid.
I’ve set up the racetrack...
ok, Bye.
What is that noise?
Tim is practising for his recorder lessons.
On no, recorder lessons...
I can't do my homework like this.
Can't he practise outside?
Boys, don't be so annoying. Everything is hard at the start.
There, nice and clean.
Keep playing, it’s really nice (sarcastic)
Get lost!
It’s my house too.
I need to practice. - Practice then.
I can't practice like this.
Why not? - Because
Oh that’s easy then.
Watch, this is how you do it.
Hey, give it back!
Don't do that else you'll get spit in it!
MOM!!!
Give me the recorder back!
Mom... MOM!
What's going on here?
Jelle's got my recorder!
Give the recorder back and leave Tim in peace!
I haven't done anything!
Ok, you're coming shopping with me and Tim go upstairs to practice!
Boys, we'll be back soon.
Do you want to play a game?
I have to practice
and I must do my homework!
...and there was a wasp and it stung me and it hurt a lot!
Boys, we're back.
Oops, Mom's back!
I’ll tell her that you've done your practice...
...if you say that I’ve done my homework. - Ok, then.
Shouldn't you be practicing, Tim.
He's done it already.
And he's done his homework.
Has everyone done their practice? - Yes.
Let me hear someone then...
Tim
That’s not on the music sheet...
Have you really practiced?
No.
Then you can stay on afterwards, until you can do it.
Susanne, lets hear you then.
Bye Girls, see you next week. - Till next week, Miss.
Fingers on the holes!
Close off the holes, Tim.
It takes practice. Much practice.
Watch your Yellow finger.
You're a bit late, dear.
I’ve lost my recorder.
What?
It’s fallen off my bike.
You don't know where, eh?
No.
And you rode the normal way home?
Yes
Maybe someone has found it and taken it away.
Are you sure you didn’t leave it at the recorder lessons?
I’m sure.
Well, let’s go look to be sure.
Let’s go and check anyhow.
Good Afternoon
Hello
Tim’s lost his recorder and I was wondering if he'd left it here.
No, definitely not.
I would have noticed it. How annoying. How did you lost it?
It fell off my bike
I can lend Tim a recorder but he must practice this week. He did nothing last week.
No? No, It was very disappointing.
And you told me you had practiced, Tim.
Hello Elsbeth
Elsbeth has been chosen to take part in a talent competition with the flute.
Have you practiced properly?
I found this...
Oh, that’s great.
By the supermarket.
In the dustbin.
In the bin?
Tim, how did the recorder get in the bin?
It didn’t do it by itself.
How did it get in the bin?
I’m listening...
I don't want to do the recorder anymore. I think it’s stupid!
Did you find it?
Yes
Tim’s not going to any more lessons.
But it’s a new recorder!
Hey Stop that screeching!
Shut your mouth!
Yes, shut it!
Shut your mouth!
Shut your mouth, Gijs-Jan
