Recorders are in full swing at Boswell! Both grade levels have been working on recorders amongst other things! Our new room set up has made moving and playing a LOT easier!
5th grade
We've been working on singing voices, singing in rounds, rhythm reading, and melodic reading. I think singing "Little Tommy Tinker" has been quite a highlight! We've reviewed BAG on the recorder and will be moving onto some more notes this week. Our main focus this year will be to add a few more notes and play music in two parts.
4th Grade
4th graders have also been working on the same concepts as 5th graders with some different activities. I am trying to learn names with the song "Hey Lidee" and it seems to be helping. Students tell me there name and a favorite food while we play along with boomwhackers! I have until the end of October to learn names. That is my self-given deadline! On recorders, we will continue with our last two notes for the semester A and G. It is my goal to make sure we are really comfortable with BAG before we begin Recorder Karate in the Spring!
