Recorder Karate

Join this Beyond the Basics Class where your student will engage in a highly motivating, self-paced music curriculum learning to play the soprano recorder. Advance progressively through more difficult folk songs, earning colored yarn "belts" to tie around their instruments as they master each level. This class will meet once a week via Zoom on Tuesdays from 2:00–2:30 p.m. The class will run for approximately 6–8 weeks.

Registration includes a book, recorder, and all achievement belts needed for the class. Students may choose their recorder color during registration.

Your teacher, Mr. Yentsch, will provide parents with instructions on when and how to award each belt as students complete the corresponding levels.

Students can submit “belt applications” through a video recording or live during class. Weekly online class meetings will include tips and techniques, troubleshooting, group practice, and low-pressure opportunities for students to perform in front of their peers.

Registration closes September 1 to allow enough time for class materials to be ordered and mailed to students before the class begins.
