Recorders

Third graders have begun playing the recorders.  We spent several weeks learning how to read the notes on the staff, and now we are putting that into practice! 

The school has plenty of recorders for your students so there is no need for them to bring their own.  Each student is assigned a recorder number so that they play the same one each time.  We store them in their cases so they are protected when we put them away each day.  

I just have to say the I am so impressed!  The third graders have been phenomenal at playing the recorder! We have already learned three notes and are playing several fun songs including "BA Cowboy" and "BAG O'Tigers"  which use the notes B, A, and G.  We will spend quite a bit of time on these three notes before we move on. 

The students are anxious to bring home the instruments and show off what they have learned.  Please be willing to listen to them play at least one song for you when that happens, it means so much to them to be able to share with you what they are learning.
