Recorder time!
Dear Tyson Families,
Many students have asked about the possibility of purchasing their own recorders. Purchasing your own is NOT mandatory since Tyson is providing all 3rd-5th grade students with their very own recorder! However, the coolest thing about recorders is that they are so widely available. Check out a nearby Walmart or local music shop. In the music room we use soprano recorders. Soprano recorders usually cost between $2-$25.
Encourage your student to click on the 'practice recorder' button for play-along videos and instructions for all recorder karate belts from the white belt to black belt. In addition to Tyson Recorder Karate Belt videos, there are endless online resources for practicing your recorder.
One of my FAVORITE playlist of FREE recorder play-alongs is: Visual Music Minds (see link below).
Here is another fun thing to do with your students: look up recorder covers of your favorite pop songs or songs from favorite movies or games. Medhat Mamdouh is a professional recorder player who has a whole playlist of recorder beatboxing and hip hop to check out (see link below).
