About Recorders in Schools
A year-long program designed for fifth graders. Grand Vision teaching artists lead students in 24 sequential weekly classes in recorder playing technique, reading music notation, and ensemble performance, culminating in a student performance.
Teachers learn tools to connect Meet the Music curriculum to history, culture and mathematics while reinforcing music learning.
