Dear grade 5/6 families,
We will be starting a Recorder Unit for students in rooms 7, 16 and 17 in February. Students will be able to learn to play Recorder with good tone and develop the ability to read Music (Music Program of Study).
Grade 6 students may still have their recorder from last year. If they would like to use this recorder, please ensure that it is labelled in a case/bag and is brought to school by Feb. 2.
If you wish to purchase a new recorder at a cost of $3.75, it is possible to access this optional fee through your MyCBE Account. Go into your MyCBE account and select it as an optional purchase.
If you do not wish to purchase a recorder for your student, they will be provided a recorder to use at school.
Orders must be submitted by January 20. I will place the recorder orders on January 20-hopefully they will arrive at the beginning of February. These are three-piece Carlton recorders that come in a cloth bag with a cleaning wand and are excellent quality and tone.
Recorders will be kept at school for the duration of the Recorder Unit and will be stored in the Music room. Recorders will be sent home when we are finished with our Recorder Unit late March or early April.
Thank you for your support of this very important music activity.
