Recorder
Recorder test outs! We have so many students who want to continue showing off their recorder skills even though our recorder unit has ended, way to be proactive and take ownership of their learning! To honor those students I am happy to hear test outs at the following times as long as it is okay and COMMUNICATED with me from parents via email or note from the office.
BEFORE SCHOOL:
Wednesdays and Thursdays : 8:05 am to 8:20 am. Instead of your student going to recess, they can come to the music room, then go to breakfast if needed, then to class. I cannot do Mondays and Fridays as I have crosswalk duty in the morning at that time. I cannot do Tuesdays as we have Ukulele club for the rest of the year at that time.
AFTER SCHOOL:
Everyday afterschool; but be aware I have an afternoon duty EVERYDAY from 3:03 pm until cars are gone. Students need to wait at the office for me to pick them up. Parents must pick up their student by 3:45 pm as I have another job to be at by 4 pm.
Recorder types: we play the soprano recorder.
