RECORDER INFORMATION 3rd Grade
As part of this year’s music curriculum, your child will be learning to play the recorder. The recorder presents a wonderful opportunity to introduce playing an instrument, reading music and music appreciation. It aids in manual coordination and boosts self-confidence. I hope that by giving the students a positive, enjoyable learning experience they will be encouraged to develop a lifelong interest in music.
I have chosen to use Macie Publishing Company to order our recorders from this year. The series is a very fun and easy way to learn the recorder. They are $5 to purchase. If your child already has a recorder from an older sibling in the house, they may use that.
The deadline to fill out the online order form to me by September 30, 2023 , and send in a check made payable to Byram Township Schools for the materials you wish to order. Your child only needs a recorder for classroom use. If you cannot afford a recorder please let me know- I have some that your child can borrow.
FOURTH GRADE BAND
I’m excited to once again offer beginner band at the Lakes school to fourth grade students!!!! Every student in fourth grade is welcome to participate.
WHO/WHAT/WHEN:
I will be teaching the following instruments this year: Flute, Clarinet, Trumpet, and Percussion.\ *( percussion slots are all filled as of 9/22/23)
I will be offering both band and lessons during the school day.
Students will be taken out of other classes to attend lessons on a rotating basis and may miss Math, ELA, Social Studies or another special. Students are expected to keep up with their classwork and homework.
If you have an instrument that is in working order, your child is welcome to use it. If they are interested in learning and you don’t have an instrument, you must rent one; the school can not provide these instruments.
RENTALS:
Regardless whether you rent OR own, your child will also need the following: 1) a Music Stand, 2) a Book, (Accent on Achievement - Book 1)
and 3) an instrument
Both the Music Shop and the Music Den service our schools for rentals. A sales representative comes to the school once a week and the instruments will be delivered to the school. You are welcome to shop around and use whichever store you are comfortable with.
(Boonton, NJ)
(Ledgewood, NJ)
