Recorder Karate

Attention 3rd - 5th graders...

If you were at school on Friday, March 13, I sent home all of your recorders with you to be able to practice at home along with a packet of Recorder Karate songs.  Recorder Karate is a great program for you to practice at your own pace, learn new songs/notes and hopefully earn "belts" for your progress that you will be able to add on to your recorder after we return.

Here are the Recorder Karate songs.

You need to test them in order. (Unfortunately, you can't just skip to black belt! LOL!)

3rd, 4th and 5th:
WHITE BELT- Hot Cross Buns
YELLOW BELT - Gently Sleep
ORANGE BELT - Merrily We Roll Along (same as Mary Had a Little Lamb)

4th and 5th:
GREEN BELT - It's Raining
PURPLE BELT - Old MacDonald Had A Farm
BLUE  BELT - When the Saints Go Marching In
RED BELT - Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
BROWN BELT - Amazing Grace
BLACK BELT - Ode to Joy

Since I can't "test" you in person, if you have learned a song from your Recorder Karate packet, please try to have someone videotape you playing it and send the video to me at abretz@hpseagles.net.  I will check my email daily and get back to you as soon as I can to let you know if you passed the song or what parts to work on more.

Good luck everyone!  I'll post some play-along YOUTUBE videos sometime this week that go along with your Recorder Karate pages and other recorder resources.  If you get stuck or confused on something, email me and I'll try to help you out!  Keep making music!!!
