The Project
Recorders are an instrument that people tend to either love or hate. I personally have never been a fan of teaching recorders to large groups of students due to the finger precision needed to cover the instrument's holes. Small fingers often miss the mark, resulting in some unpleasant sounds. We recently received a class set of blue Nuvo recorders through DonorsChoose, and my students are excited to play and I would love to have at least three classroom sets for grades 3-5 to use but I am asking for this first set for now.
Color coding recorders by grade level will help keep us organized and clean; we have blue, now we need green!
Nuvo recorders are built with silicone flaps that cover the instrument's holes when pressed, and its larger holes result in a more pleasant and mellow sound. Additionally, the instrument has plastic barriers on the sides of the keys, guiding students to using the correct hand position when playing the instrument.
The Nuvo recorder makes me want to explore recorders with my students.

I would love to have another class set for another grade level to use.
