Recorder lesson
In a lesson the mistakes are not private. The notes have to be read, the fingers find their places and the air stay even while somebody listens closely to every tone. The pictures below make the preparation and the parts of the lesson easy to survey.

About this visual support
The difference between practising at home and playing in a lesson is the listener. At home a failed attempt can be repeated without anyone noticing. In the lesson every tone is registered by a person whose job is to listen, and that knowledge affects the breathing before the flute is even at the mouth. Many people therefore play worse in the lesson than at home, and that is a performance phenomenon rather than a technical one.
Visual support helps most before the lesson. A row with flute, sheet music, water bottle and time to leave means the preparation does not compete with the nerves. Anyone who avoids hunting for the music arrives with more capacity left.
A concrete tip is to play through the week's piece once slowly on the morning of the lesson. An early run makes the piece sit in the body before the teacher is in earshot. In Routined the lesson day can sit as its own routine with packing built in, and the app can be tried for fourteen days at no cost.
