Recorder Karate
Every 4th grade class will learn the basics of playing the recorder, and will go through the “Recorder Karate” curriculum. This is done in addition to the regular 4th grade music curriculum. Recorder Karate allows each student to work at his or her own pace while still providing incentives as each student progresses through the different belts. The recorder is a great instrument to use as an introduction to playing an instrument, as well as to reinforce music reading, and helps prepare students to play other instruments in later years if they choose to.
