Welcome to the land of Recorders!
All 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students will be learning to play the recorder during Music class this year. This is a terrific way to put music into practice--reading music notation, and connecting what you see on paper to what you hear when you play your instrument. In addition to needing a recorder, students will also need the book that we use in class. An order form will go home in Tuesday folders during September for anyone that needs to purchase the book and/or recorder. If you have the book and/or recorder from an older sibling, you are welcome to use that as long as I see it to verify that it is the correct items.
