Section 1Use the assigned notes
The exact notes for Let Her Go should come from your teacher's sheet or class notes. This page helps you practise those notes without copying the full melody here. Watch out: different class arrangements can use different keys or simplified notes.
Section 2Note names and fingering
For each note on the sheet, say the letter name, check the fingering, then play it slowly. The thing to remember is that knowing the note name is not enough; your fingers must also know where to go.
Section 3Finding tricky changes
Circle or mark places where your fingers change awkwardly. Practise just two or three notes around that spot. Here's the trick: tiny practice loops fix note changes faster than playing the whole song over and over.
Section 4Checking rhythm with notes
Notes tell you pitch, but rhythm tells you timing. Read both together. If the melody feels rushed, clap or count the rhythm before playing the notes on recorder.
Examples
Your sheet has a note you recognise but the fingering is slow. What should you practise?
Practise the fingering change around that note slowly, using a tiny loop of two or three notes.
A classmate in Jamaica has a different Let Her Go sheet from another school. Why might the notes not match yours exactly?
Different arrangements can use different keys, ranges, or simplified note patterns. Use the sheet assigned by your teacher.
