Recorder Time

The time has come for 4th grade to begin their musical journey into recorder! We learn using Yamaha Soprano Baroque fingering recorder. This is a three-piece instrument for easier cleaning, and has a better sound than most student recorders. What I particularly enjoy about these specific recorders is they are translucent and come in three bright, candy colored options. Students may choose the color of their choice and even have the opportunity to swap out the body joint (middle) and foot joint (bottom) with a friend so they can have a multi-colored instrument. However, the mouthpiece MUST stay yours - no swapping. 

All students will be receiving a parent letter and order form just like the one below. If you are a 5th grade student who is new or did not order one last year, this is the time to order one for yourself! I will be taking orders through Friday, October 10. After that date, no more orders will be placed and students will need to contact a local music store for their inventory. 

It should take about a month for orders to be processed and returned to campus. Once they are delivered, cases will be labeled with student names. Check back around Thanksgiving Break to see how things are going and see what we've learned to play!
