All 4th and 5th grade students will be playing the recorder this year. 5th graders should have a recorder from 4th grade. 4th graders will be provided with a recorder (at no cost to you) when we are ready to begin (early October).
Replacement recorders are available for $3 at school, payable in cash or check made to Beavercreek City Schools. Please send all payments in an envelope with your child's name on it. No change will be given, so please pay exactly $3. Other retailers sell recorders as well, but there is no guarantee of the quality of these products. There actually is a difference in sound quality among cheaper brands.
We will be using Musicplay Online as our primary resource. Students can access this site using the link in Google Classroom. We will supplement with printed materials along the way.
Please encourage your child to practice regularly, even if they are not yet making a pleasant sound. It will get better with practice!
Students can visit Google Classroom for cleaning instructions. Please do not use extremely hot water or any harsh chemicals on the recorder.
