4th Grade: Recorders will be used throughout the 2nd half of the year to improve note reading, timing, and musical aptitude. Students this year are learning to read the notes on the treble clef!
5th Grade: Recorders will be used throughout the year to learn more difficult music with an emphasis on how to play in groups.
If you have enjoyed playing recorder in school, try this website:

There are lots of songs you can play, and accompaniments to go with them. Have fun!
You do not have to buy a recorder to enjoy playing it at school. But if you would like to have your own there are many places to purchase recorders around town and online. It doesn't matter what kind of recorder you get to practice on at home as long as it is a soprano recorder. Your student will be able to tell you if it looks like the recorder they use here at school. Thanks parents!
