GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT OUR CLUB:
The Recorder Club meets together before school on Thursdays to play the
recorder together in an ensemble setting. We use the soprano, alto and tenor
recorders as well as pitched and unpitched percussion instruments to make
music together. The purpose of the club is to enjoy the process of music
making, but we usually present at least two concerts each year.
The students earn their place in this ensemble. They must learn to read and
play the seven pitches taught on the recorder in general music by the end of
the fourth grade. An invitation to participate in the Recorder Club is sent
home in June to the students who have mastered the skills necessary
to enjoy participation in this faster paced music ensemble.
