RECORDER PLAYING

Students in grade 4 are working on recorder playing again this year.  Presently, we are playing "Linus and Lucy" made famous by the Charlie Brown children's videos.  Students are also writing simple one note and 2 note songs for the recorder.  It is very rewarding to be able to notate and play a simple song.  

In January, we will begin to work on the student singing and playing parts of the Link-Up Orchestra Program.  In May, students will again participate in the Rhode Island Philharmonic Link-Up concert at the VETS in Providence.  This is a wonderful children's concert with interactive student participation.  You will receive more details as the date of our field trip approaches.  This program is made possible by the generous support of the Royce Foundation.  Each child receives a recorder, a book and a concert ticket at no cost.  Many thanks to the Royce Family!
