Learning Activities
|
4th – 5th grade students will need a recorder for music class; these are available for purchase from Mr. Marsland for $5.00 (cash only, please)
5th grade students can bring their recorders home to practice Recorder Karate music. Ask Mr. Marsland for information about the Recorder Karate Dojo they can visit to find play-along tracks! If your child brings his or her recorder home, please ensure they keep it in a safe place, and remember to bring it to school on the day they have music class. Ask your child to perform a song on the recorder that they learned in class. Encourage your child to look up songs to learn on the recorder using the Internet/YouTube. |
