In THIRD GRADE, students learn how to play recorder and read standard notation from the treble staff. There are many videos and online games that reinforce these concepts. Here are a few videos and a game to get a head start. A separate "RECORDER" page will be made available as the school year progresses. Students will also participate in "Recorder Karate", an practice incentive program that has been modified to the note sequence we'll be learning, in the last 10 weeks of school.
