Recorders

Recorder skills are usually taught in grades three through six. Through learning to play the Recorder, students become more proficient in reading music. Also, they have the experience of playing a musical instrument, both individually and in a group. Recorder students are reminded to practice throughout the summer, as well as during the school year, to maintain or improve their level of expertise.
