Recorders

The 3rd graders here at Tatum Primary will be playing recorders for the next 9 weeks.  We will also use them off and on during the year to enhance instruction.  The order has come in, and they will be recieving their recorders this week during their music class.  We will also learn to play 3 notes, B, A, and G. 
If your 3rd grader has not brought $3 to pay for their recorder, please have them bring it ASAP so we can all be together as we begin our unit.
The method we are using is called Recorder Karate, and the students will be earning "belts" as they play off the music in their folder.  We will track their progress on a bulletin board in my room.  (I will put up a picture soon!) 
Please encourage your child to practice at home, and remind them to bring their recorders on their music day!
I added some pictures of our Recorder Karate bulletin boards.  The students will get to move their names to the color belt that they have tested off on, and get that color of string on their recorder. 
Good Luck kids!!
Thank you!
