Reaching Higher Heights in Music!!!

My students need alto recorders to continue achieving the best musical experience they can have.

My Students

Remember being in music class and absolutely loving the chance to play recorders? The young musicians in my class are reaching new heights on recorders and therefore reaching above the material we have in our class.

My young musicians are striving for very high goals that they and myself have set for them and many are reaching them.

My students are unique in the fact that they all come from very different backgrounds yet come together to learn a language from across the world. I teach to students who are learning one of four different languages and are very supported from the school in reaching high goals all over the school including the arts.

My Project

Many of the students have set goals and are achieving them but they are running out of material to complete those goals. We work very hard in my class learning to read music and applying it to the recorders, Orff instruments and ukuleles. With alto recorders my children can expand their musical knowledge by keeping the challenge going of note reading and learning new fingerings.

With budget cuts I am unable to purchase these more challenging instruments for my students.

With the higher level instruments I will still be able to push my students to achieve the very best they can.
