Some NEWS about grade 3 recorders..

Instruments to borrow from the music room

If your child is keen to play recorder at home, we will very soon have some instruments available in the music room for you to check out.

If you prefer to buy your own, however, here are links to our Internet supplier.

This replaces the original offer to obtain recorders for you through the school.

(Wait until this comes out in the 3^rd grade blog & you can click directly on the link!)

For the red recorder (Mrs Liedlbauer's group) with German fingering system:

For the blue recorder (Mr Thompson's group) with baroque fingering system:

Please note, there is absolutely no requirement for the children to practice between the lessons, or for you to have an instrument at home. Some of the children already seem quite enthusiastic about this activity, however. Practice material will be available for those children who want to take it after each lesson.

Later in the year

Because this is a new part of our music education offering, we will be monitoring the progress of our young players with great interest. It is possible that further choices of instrumental instruction might be available later in the year. Watch this space!
