Funded Jan 13, 2011Thank you so much for donating the alto and sopranino recorders! I've moved some of the students with smaller hands to the sopranino and it's helped significantly with their tone. It's much easier for them to cover the holes when they play. The altos have been perfect for the kids that already have at least a year of recorder experience but don't have the finger span to play a tenor. The rich tone they produce sounds very warm; no one would confuse it with a toy. We've had quite a few lookie-loo parents and students peek inside our classroom and give compliments on how beautiful everyone sounds. We hope to incorporate these new recorders into our spring concert and play in 4-part harmony (sopranino, soprano, alto, and tenor). Thank you for giving these children the tools to experience music!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Qavi
