My Project
Music helps the world be a happier, kinder place. We learn to play the recorder in 3rd grade. Students will learn to play popular songs on these recorders and sing along with their peers. Each student will get their own recorder to use, practice on, and take home. We will learn through the Recorder Karate program. Recorders are provided to every student in 3rd grade. By the end of 3rd grade, students will have their recorders decorated and playing at their best, providing lifelong enjoyment. Please help my students achieve their 3rd grade mastery of the recorder by donating today.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
