Hello Families,
It is an exciting time for grade 3 and 4 students as they begin their recorder unit. Mrs H-McDee would like to request the following to ensure that all recorder classes are successful and ideal learning environments.
- Students are asked to ONLY take recorders home to practice on WEEKENDS
- When practicing at home, you may want to set up a specific time period e.g.. 5pm – 5:15pm
- Practice sessions of 15 minutes each on Friday Saturday and Sunday is recommended
- Never play recorder out in the cold
- Recorders can be cleaned in the dishwasher or with warm water and dish soap.
- Please make sure they are dry before placing in baggie or case
MOST IMPORTANTLY:
- To ensure proper recorder tone, encourage player to Breathe warm air GENTLY into recorder and COVER any holes required for each note
** Students should never blow hard enough to make any loud sounds
Good Luck and Happy Playing! (& Listening)
