My Project

These are not necessities for our classroom, but I would certainly love to have them as classroom resources for our students to use in experimenting early (potentially before having the opportunity to further explore woodwind instruments in band classes in following grades).

This month, we will be experimenting on recorders with creating birdsongs as a connection with Earth Day.

We will be using our classroom inventory of soprano recorders, but in the future it would be wonderful for students to have the opportunity to experiment with lower melodies on the alto and tenor recorders as well.
