Recorders, Recorders

Recorders are like a tiny clarinet that you play.  In 4^th grade we start something called recorder karate.  They have a concept of music and karate.  The first belt is white belt, than yellow belt, orange, green, purple, blue, red, brown, black.  Once you get to black you can start doing pink belts, but that doesn’t mean that you have to do pink belts after you finish black belt.  You can start whenever you want. 

Belts for Karate

For each belt you have to master 1 song.  If you mess up it isn’t mastery.  So the practice at home part is the repetition.  Then you go to your music teacher to finish the belt.  Now that is mastery!

School Partitioning

       You get school days to try and master a belt.  If you do not make the belt, you can come after school any day as long as your music teacher is available and try to learn it.  You are supposed to practice at home to get better at the songs. Then try the song at music or your classes testing day.

      

Concert

       Once you do it for about a month you only get one more day to test before you’re stuck with the belts you got.  Then you get ready for the concert.  In the concert we will be doing a mix between singing and doing recorders.  It will be very interesting to do and fun.  There will be some very jumpy songs and some very good canons.
