What’s that you hear? Why, it’s the sweet sound of recorder melodies floating throughout the city of San Diego! The Visual and Performing Arts Department purchased thousands of recorders for Grade 4 & 5 students in the Full Grade Level and Introduction to Music programs, and they have been delivered to school sites. The recorders will be distributed to students throughout the month of October.

The elementary students will learn to read, write, create, and play music on the recorder during their online music classes, and the music teachers are excited to begin! So, if you see a young person walking down the street playing a recorder or hear a melody coming out of the room down the hall, enjoy the tune and smile, knowing that our students are creating and receiving music education in San Diego Unified.

Let the music playing begin!
