My Project

Recorder lessons are a pivotal part of elementary music classes. Now that the pandemic is over, we music teachers are even more aware of keeping our classrooms safe and sanitary. Being able to give each student their own, individual recorder allows us to teach our students to play recorder without worrying about spreading unnecessary germs.

In addition to the musical aspect, playing a recorder helps students with finger dexterity, hand-eye coordination, breath control, and remembering their left from their right hand.

There are so many benefits to learning a musical instrument. While reading music, they have to subdivide the rhythm. It involves math, reading, and decoding. Please help me give this opportunity to my students.
