Dear
Parents and Guardians: We are excited to inform you that your third grade child will be learning to play the recorder in music as part of Burlington’s music curriculum.
We are suggesting that each child purchases his/her own personal recorder through the school so that all the instruments will be alike and equally in tune. We will be ordering Yamaha recorders that comes with a storage case and a fingering chart. The recorders are $6.00 each. To help us place the order, please return the detachable form to your child’s classroom teacher by Friday, Jan. 13th. along with $6.00 cash.
We
encourage students to bring the recorders home to practice, but it is required
that the recorder be in music class each week. If your child chooses to bring
the recorder home, it is hi/her responsibility to bring it back in for music
class. If students do not bring their recorders to class, it will count as an
unprepared for the day and will affect their report card grade. We will be
providing a folder to keep their recorder music in.
Learning
the recorder involves more than playing songs. It involves music reading,
creativity, discipline and working as a group. Students will be able to play
independently and with their classmates. At-home practice is a great way to
reinforce the lessons taught in music class. It is often helpful for someone at
home to occasionally listen to the songs we have been working on, to encourage
effort, track progress and correct mistakes.
Thank you for your continued support in your child’s musical endeavors! Feel free to contact Mrs. Niu (niu@bpsk12.org) or Mrs. Rzasa (rzasa@bpsk12.org) if you have any questions!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Niu Mrs. Rzasa
