| Specific purposes | Mastery of basic recorder skills |
| Considerations for disability characteristics | Helps learners with finger movement difficulties to cover recorder holes |
| Expected effects and results |
Learners use the cushion to cover the holes, and thus avoid interrupting the airflow. Using the cushion, learners no longer have their attention taken up entirely by covering the holes and can concentrate on the musical performance. |
| How to use |
The cushion comes with stickers to indicate where the holes are. You can punch the holes using a puncher. The hole size varies; make sure that you punch the holes to the right size. Check that the cushion is fitted correctly with each use. If the cushion is set incorrectly, the recorder may play the wrong tones or have difficulty producing a sound. |
