Recorder Karate Program
The Recorder Karate Program is for PES 3rd-5th grade students. Students will be learning to play the Baroque Soprano Recorder. In class, we will practice recorder technique, how to read music, finger positions, and how to practice home. Students will advance at different speeds which is why Recorder Karate is a great program. Students will practice the song linked to each belt color at home. We will NOT play the songs at school. Then, PES students can advance as quickly as THEY want to while we practice technique EVERY DAY in the classroom!
Where do I get a recorder?
If you missed ordering one through RevTrak, you can visit Center Stage, Portman's or google "Baroque Soprano Recorder" and find an on-line merchant. Be sure it is the correct type of recorder!
