The "America" Singing Challenge
It's ready - Click Here to try the America Singing Challenge!
Things We Do
We focus on beautiful singing and keeping a steady beat.
****************************************************************
In Third Grade we also learn how to play the recorder. Here are
some helpful hints to follow when practicing at home:
- We LOVE"Left-overs"!!! Always keep your Left hand OVER your Right!
- Too, too, too - always whisper "Too" into the recorder.
- Leaks make squeaks! Cover the holes all the way to make the right sound.
- If you can hear yourself playing, you're playing too loud! (Not really, but the point is that the recorder is meant to be played quietly, not loudly.)
- Practice, practice, practice!!! If you want to become good at the recorder, you should practice at least 5-15 minutes 3 times per week.
- Have fun! Start a band! Put on a show!!!
