My Project

In the music room, I use recorder karate to teach my students to play this fun and important woodwind! An important part of that program is the tassel reward system. When a child masters a song, they receive a "Recorder Karate Belt" to display on the end of their instrument.

Students work very hard to earn these and I love the sense of pride pride they have when they get to level up!

Additionally, we need a new set of storage cases, as our old ones have fallen apart and no longer stay closed. Thanks so much for helping me get what I need to teach my students recorder in the 2024-2025 school year!
