4th graders will be learning how to play the recorder after our holiday break. This is a great way for students to learn how to read music, coordination to play the notes and learn how to sight-read. The recorder is also a great pre-band or pre-strings instrument as it teaches the students many of the same things they need to know when they enter the band or strings program in 5th grade.
4th graders may choose to order a recorder from me for $5 or they can borrow one from the school-owned recorders (borrowed recorders will stay at school). Order forms went home today! They are due back next Monday, Dec. 9. A picture of the order form can be seen below.
This is an excellent unit that I’m really excited to teach and excited for the students to learn! It would be great if everyone had their very own recorder to take home and practice! If you have any questions, please let me know!
