Recorders go home this week

This week, as we have done for the last several years, we are giving a new Yamaha recorder to all third grade students.  We'll also be teaching them how to use their recorders for the next ten weeks or so.  During these first day so recorder ownership, the playground tooting can be a little hard to bear, but colleagues I promise, the novelty does wear off.  In the meantime it's a major incentive for me to get them to sound good fast.
