We Are A Part of a Recorder Nation

A couple of weeks ago, we began our study of recorders in 3rd & 4th grade with Recorder Karate. Students work through the curriculum by learning songs that are progressively harder. This progression has them call upon their note reading and breathing skills. Every song is assigned a belt color, white all the way to black. Once they have mastered the song, they will receive their belts.

So far, we have learned how to properly hold, play and clean our instruments. We have learned how to play pitches GAB and every student has their White Belt after mastering Hot Crossed Buns.

Currently, they are working towards their Yellow Bets with the song Gently Sleep.

It has been so much fun! I cannot wait for them to all become BLACK BELTS!
