My students need all the accessories to be successful in Recorder Karate! Instead of using yarn, we will use Loom Bands to show their progress. This is a wonderful program to learn to read music!

My Students
As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to keep things fun and simple. I want to provide my students with creative and meaningful musical learning experiences.
My students are creative, talented and very eager to learn.
They like to play instruments, they love to sing and love lots of positive attention. Many of them are being raised in single parent households and receive a free lunch based on their socioeconomic status. These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical". From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. I may not be able to control their home lives, however, I can certainly control their experience during the school day. By doing this in a creative and positive way, I am hopeful to inspire even our earliest learners to continue on a path of musical excellence.
My Project
I am starting a Recorder Karate unit this spring. I want to use the different color loom bands to show which level of the unit the students are testing for. The music ordered will help them be interested in practicing!
Our kids enjoy using instruments of varying kinds.
The CUPS song has gotten a lot of use in my classroom (using cups as their instrument). I would like to be able to have a sturdy set of cups for the children to use for this unit.
The Hoberman Sphere will help teach my students how to use the correct breathing techniques will singing.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
