Grade Three & Four Recorder Class
Students in Grades 3 & 4 have just completed a term learning to play the recorder. The recorder is a great beginning instrument as it teaches students foundational skills for music such as note and rhythm reading, breathing, tonguing and producing good tone, as well as introducing fingering that will help them in the future should they study a band instrument. We had a lot of fun learning to play familiar children’s songs, and the challenge piece for higher level students “Here I Am to Worship” one of our favorite chapel songs! The highlight at the end of the unit was introducing other instruments to add rhythm, and chords. Students were also given the opportunity to play the alto and tenor recorders. Here are some photos to document the good times! (looks like i only captured the grade 4’s - sorry!)
