Fourth Grade Students Begin Recorder Karate Instruction

Do you love to play the recorder? We do too. 

Here are our school we follow the Recorder Karate method.

Each time we learn a new note, we get to 'test' for a karate belt. To pass the test we have to play a song, correctly and independently.

Correctly = no mistakes

Independently = by yourself, with no help from the music teacher

Right now, the 4th Graders are learning the song 'Hot Cross Buns'. 

We will be testing on Monday April 15.

Work Hard!

Good Luck!

Today in Music Mrs. Schubert's homeroom class played the Boomwhackers.

Mrs. Schubert's students would you please tell the other students in our school what the boomwhackers are, what kind of sounds they make, how they look, and what we use them for?

What did you do over Spring Break?

Hey Northwoods Music Students!  I had a great Spring Break.

I traveled to the mountains of North Carolina and visited a museum that had musical instruments from the 1800s.

Here is a picture of one of those instruments. It belongs to the percussion family. It's a called a Musical Ratchet.

 You might see people play these at Soccer matches or football games.
 
So what did you do over Spring Break?
