We love MUSIC!

The students in 4th and 5th grade will continue to build their knowledge of Music and Music Appreciation. We will learn about composers, periods and styles. We will connect the learning in Music to the learning in other subjects. We will learn about ourselves, our community, the world and ... 

the music that moves us!

 

Recorder Karate for 4th & 5th!

This awesome program is the one we will use to expand our program and create beautiful music! Just like a Dojo, however, our studio will adhere to strict rules of behavior. Everyone can succeed. Everyone can follow the rules.

We will celebrate everyone's success with Belts--just like we do in Karate: each student will work at their own pace to receive the next level of belt by practicing and performing each required piece:

BELTS

·       White – Hot Cross Buns

         Yellow – Gently Sleep

         Orange – Merrily We Roll Along

         Green – It’s Raining

         Purple – Old MacDonald

         Blue – When The Saints Go Marching In

         Red – Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

         Brown – Amazing Grace

         Black – Ode To Joy

 Recorder Karate Dojo Rules

Rule 1

Enter the music room quietly with your recorder and all materials needed for class.

Rule 2

After the master bows to the class, all students bow together and then to each other before sitting down.

Rule 3 

Sit with your legs crossed and your recorder lying in front of you.

Rule 4 

Do not play your recorder until instructed to do so (Playing out of turn shows disrespect to the master and other students which may result in losing playing privileges for the day). 

 Rule 5

At the end of class, stand and bow to the master and to each other when instructed.
