All third grade students take part in the General Music Recorder Program where they receive a soprano recorder. Students learn basis recorder techniques, musical elements, responsibility and discipline through practice. A recorder concert is performed each spring for families and friends. Mrs. Grillo String Music Program Students have the opportunity to begin a string musical instrument beginning in third grade. Fundamental techniques such as playing position, bow grip, and left hand fingering are emphasized.
Students learn how to match fingered notes with open strings to develop pitch discrimination.
Our goals are to allow students to develop solid instrumental techniques on their chosen instrument, develop an enthusiastic attitude toward modern and traditional music, and to develop musical skills as a means of self-expression.
