4th Grade Instrumental Music

Dear parents of fourth graders,

All fourth grade students will continue their music education this year by learning to play the recorder. Each student will own their own instrument. We will all be using the same high quality wooden recorders. The students will have their own book in which they may write or make notes to themselves. High Point will supply the recorders and books and you will be billed for them.

We will review and build on the music theory that they have already been exposed to by Mr. Marquez. The class will enjoy learning and performing together as a team. It is highly recommended that the student have a music stand to use at home while practicing. Inexpensive, wire music stands can be purchased at your local music store (see list below). This will promote good posture and breathing. Students are encouraged to practice daily as their schedule allows. They will be graded primarily on class participation and individual progress. I am excited to be working with your children this year. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Sincerely.

Tim Divers
