4/8 Wonderful Wednesday 4th & 5th grade Recorder Lesson

Hi 4th and 5th graders!

Thank you to those of you who are commenting on my blog. The only ones I've heard from so far is: Maddy, Zac and Lindsey. Remember, you need to comment on two blogs a week to get a passing grade for music class!

Today's lesson is going to simply be this: practice your recorder! Review a few songs that you've already passed and practice the next song you're on. Starting next week I will post a video of me helping you learn a new song that's not in the Recorder Karate packet. I'm sharing a link with you of the recorded music for each of the 9 Recorder Karate songs. This link contains the same recordings that I have on the CD I use in music class.

Comment below and tell me what songs you practiced on your recorder today and if you played them with the recordings. Try to practice at least 3 songs. If you're able, you can record yourself playing the next song you want to test for. Email me the video (dklemp@stedwardk5.org) and I can let you know if you earned the belt! Happy practicing!
