Recorder

As part of the music curriculum for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades, you will learn to play the recorder. The recorder gives you the opportunity to apply the concepts and skills you have learned in music.

Recorders may be purchased at nearly all music stores in the area or online. The instrument should be a soprano recorder and will cost $6-10. I do not have a preference on recorder brand or color.

I have shown students several options in class for common recorders including:

Yamaha YRS-24B Plastic Soprano Recorder

Angel 101 Soprano Recorder

Peripole Soprano Halo Recorder – P6000

I purchased mine from Amazon for $6. Local music stores like Music & Arts, Sam Ash, and Guitar Center should have recorders readily available for purchase. If you currently own a recorder, you will not need to purchase a new one. Students are asked to leave their recorder in the backpack, so it may be accessed at school on a regular basis. For health reasons, students may not share instruments.

If you have a problem or a question please feel free to contact me.

Thank you,
