Why the Recorder

The Recorder is an inexpensive instrument (about $10) that is provided by most schools to 3rd or 4th graders. It’s a great introductory instrument that is represented throughout history in literature, drama, painting, and sculpture. Almost all cultures have recorders in their history! This connection expands your child's understanding of the world.

What kind of challenges?

Each week, students will be given creative and fun challenges such as musical games, playing in a funny position, or making up a song (such as ice cream melting). 
​
We believe that all children should have the opportunity to learn to play an instrument. Studies have shown that children who study an instrument are more likely to succeed academically. Plus, students perform frequently, building their confidence and raising their self‐esteem.
