3-4 Music Week of 4/6/20

Hi music class!
 
During this time of staying inside, it is important to keep your mental health in check.  I would suggest using music as a way to have fun and enjoy yourself.
 
Here is a link to fun and interactive music games.  You can compose your own music, sharpen your rhythmic skills, and play music-related games.
 
If you don't already own one, I would recommend getting a recorder. Since we're not able to play recorder together, having one of your own allows you to play any time, anywhere! This is NOT required, but they are cheap and can be ordered online.  I will be posting the music to all the belts (18 total) for Recorder Karate along with videos of myself playing them all. You can try playing along with me to see how many belts you can do!
 
Here are links to cheap recorders: ~$5-10
 
Any brand will work fine. 
 
You or your parents can email me any time with questions and I will be updating this page every week. Subscribe so you'll get notified when I post.
 
If you would like to ask a question/have a meeting with me, email me for the link and password.
 
My office hours on Zoom are: 
Monday 8AM-9AM
Friday 8AM-9AM
