3rd Grade Recorder

 

In a few short months, your child will begin learning the recorder during music class! The recorder is a woodwind instrument played by blowing a thin stream of air through the instrument and placing the fingers over the holes.

 Our recorder unit is set to begin on January 31, 2024. Students are not required to purchase a recorder since they will be provided by the music department. They will need to buy their own cleaning cloths or handkerchiefs if wanted. Over the next few weeks we will begin a unit called Recorder Karate! Each student will have the opportunity to earn belts of different colors as they progress through this unit.

 Once our recorder unit has started, the recorders will remain in school until the students have learned a few basic notes, practicing expectations, and about instrument cleaning/care. This means the students will not bring the recorders home for a few weeks until they have demonstrated proficiency on recorder basics. When they do bring them home, I am sure you will be delighted by how much they have learned!
