At PEC, students in 4th through 6th grades learn to play recorders. Mr. Myers instructs 4th grade students, while Mrs. Gordon instructs 5th and 6th grade students. Students in 5th and 6th grades will begin playing recorder during the third week of their quarterly Music term. However, they will need to bring in their recorder and book during the first two weeks of the quarter to be checked off and to make sure the recorder is in good working order and is in tune.
When auditions are held in the Spring for the upcoming school year, students must be in 4th-7th grades to audition. If additional auditions are held during the school year, students must be in 5th -8th grade to participate.
