THE RECORDER : GRADE S 4, 5 & 6
DVD Format with Booklet
“Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ”. (1 Corinthians 12:3b-7, 12)
What People Are Saying

Purpose
To provide a music aid to teachers for the purpose of teaching the recorder to grades 4, 5 & 6.
Why This Resource?
Every child, in every elementary school, has the potential for successful, meaningful interactions with music. The development of this potential through numerous encounters with music and abundant opportunities to participate regularly in developmentally appropriate music activities is the right of every child.
Research shows the importance of elementary music education in brain development. A solid foundation in reading music notation develops thinking skills, language skills and self-esteem. Many elementary teachers are generalists. The language of music requires some specialized knowledge. This DVD assists the teacher using a music specialist as a resource. The teacher can use the DVD in two ways:
o As a personal tutor prior to teaching a grade 4-6 class
o As an instruction tool within the classroom environment
Teachers and students are able to go through the program together, or individually. The teacher can be assured that their music program is enhanced by the experience of a music specialist. Ontario Ministry Expectations and Catholic Graduate Expectations are identified in each lesson.
