THIRD GRADE RECORDER ACTIVITIES
There will be no Recorder Class homework assignments required this year. We will be able to cover all of the fingerings and rhythms that we need to during our school "recorder day" which is Monday of each week. Students wishing to take the recorders and learning materials home to work independently are welcome to do so, but the recorders, fingering chart, and all sheet music must be brought back to school on Mondays for our recorder class.
Students receive a passing grade for recorder day by simply having their materials in class, but a failing grade for the day if the materials are forgotten. (We are endeavoring to teach our students to be responsible! We know this is a precious character quality that our parents wish to impart as well.)
PLEASE NOTE: Be sure that you do not write the letter names of the notes in on your sheet music. Those letter names are to be memorized.
