4th Grade General Music
During our school closure, it is important that students are checking their Google Classroom each week, and doing the lesson that is put out. Mrs. Morse will be making videos for the children, and working through the work with them online!
RECORDER KARATE
4th Grade Students work out of a book called Recorder Karate. When they pass a "belt test" they earn a colorful belt to hang from their recorder and show how well they are doing.

Rules for Recorder Karate:
1. Students must bring their recorder and music to class daily. If students fail to bring their recorders to class on a regular basis, they will no longer be able to bring their instruments home for practice.
2. Recorders should only be played at home and in class. Students should not play anywhere else (playground, bus, Mr. Merritt's room) If Mrs. Morse finds that the rules are broken, recorders will have to stay in the classroom.
3. Students should not share recorders. We don't want instruments to be lost or broken. It also keeps us from spreading germs.

How Recorder Karate Works:
Tuesdays and Wednesdays are class rehearsal time. (This is subject to change sometimes) We will work on a concept as a class, including (but not limited to) New Notes, Rhythms, Clapping, Note Reading, Music Concepts, Playing together (and alone)
Thursdays are for TESTING! Mrs. Morse will select students who have practiced to test. (usually between 5 and 10) No student will be able to test on more than one song per testing date. Students will be graded with the following rubric. Students scoring a 3 or 4 will earn their Recorder Karate Belt! Students should study the rubric and think about these things when they are practicing.
