Playing Recorders

In 4th and 5th grade music, we have been rehearsing the fingering of notes on the recorder while reading each note on a musical staff. We have found creative ways to make this into a game, as the students practiced identifying the notes drawn on the board. One of the games included the use of arts and crafts where the students had to silently work as a team to create the specified note out of fuzzoodles. The first team to make the note and toss it in the basket received points for their team. After rehearsing the notes and how many beats each note gets, we will proceed on to playing the song for the day. More game time and tunes to come!
