Dear Parents/Guardians,
Learning to play the recorder is an integral part of our 5th and 6th grade music program here at Paradise Education Center. As you may know, the recorder is a flute-like instrument that is well-suited for introductory musical instruction. It is easy to play and is an inexpensive aid to learning musical notation.
We have made arrangements with our supplier to offer you “Suzuki” brand recorders at an economical price. This particular model is a three-piece quality unit made from durable plastic which can be adjusted for playing comfort as well as for tuning purposes. We’re offering a recorder set that will include our classroom method book “Suzuki Modern Classroom Recorder”, a cleaning rod, and a case.
This set is priced at $12.00 and is currently available from Mrs. Gordon (E-5) in the Music Department during regular class times and at the following times: Fridays between 7:30-7:45 am and Thursdays between 2:50-3:00 pm. Please make all checks out to PEC Music or have exact change sealed in an envelope printed with your child’s full name and grade. If your child already has a recorder and/or book, they will need to bring them to music class by the last day of their 2nd full week in Music (Quarter 1: Aug. 14; 5th grade: Aug. 21) so that we can make sure the recorder is in working order and that it is the same type we will be using in class (Soprano with English fingering). Please note that not every recorder is in the same “key” or of the same quality, so it may produce different notes or make an inferior tone. Students may purchase the Suzuki recorder separately from PEC for $7.00. Students who already have a working Soprano recorder (pending approval from the Music Department) will only need to purchase the method book (available for purchase at $5.00 each from PEC). Those who still have their book from last year may continue to use it. Since we will begin playing recorders on the first day of the third full week of your student’s Music (Quarter 1: Aug. 17; 5th grade: Aug. 24), it is very important that all students check off their recorders before this date.
If you have any questions or concerns about these requirements, you may contact Mrs. Gordon at 623.455.7559 or [email protected]. More information regarding supplies may be accessed through the Supplies link at http://mrsgordonsmusicclasses.weebly.com/. Thank you for enriching your child’s musical experience and for your
ongoing support of the Arts at PEC!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Gordon
