This year we are starting Recorder Karate! It is a great program that allows students to learn how to read music while playing the recorder. They will progress through the different colours of belts until they get to a black belt.
They pass off songs by being able to show me that they can do the following things:
1. Clap the rhythm properly
2. Say the note names while doing the proper fingering
3. Play the song with the correct fingerings and a consistent tempo
There are a few ways they can pass off their belts:
1. They can do it during class time if we are all practicing together.
2. They can send a recording of them doing all three things to my email: [email protected]
3. Or they can sign up to do it at recess times depending on my supervision for that week.
We are excited to get learning and I have already heard some great sounds! Since we are learning to read music as well please feel free to follow the link below to see the different things we have been using to learn to read music.
