I am requesting recorders to give my students a chance to play as an ensemble using different size recorders creating depth in their music education. Students enjoy coming to music and working together to generate musical ideas (MU:Cr1.4.3). When teaching recorders each student must have their own recorder as we cannot clean instruments between classes. Many students choose to get their own soprano recorder or they may check them out from the school to use. By providing a chance for the students to be able to play different size recorders it will make the collaboration even more interesting with the varying tonalities.
Recorders are a staple of fourth grade music education and with guidance students will be able to perform age appropriate literature (MU:Pr4.4.1) as well as create their own music using iconic or standard notation (MU:Pr4.4.3) in groups with the bass, tenor, alto, and sopranino recorders. Students will be able to combine the already owned instruments with these to perform in small ensembles.
