Students in third grade are participating in Recorder Karate in which they earn a belt for every song they successfully play. All students just completed "Hot Cross Buns" and earned their white belt for the song. Next on their list is "Gently Sleep" and they will earn their yellow belt if they successfully complete the song. The criteria on which they will be graded is: steady tempo, correct rhythm, correct pitches, observing the breath marks, and tonguing each note. Students are testing at school by recording themselves using an iPad and then I watch it and fill out a rubric. If students choose, they may record themselves using a tablet or smart phone at home and e-mail the video to me at [email protected]. Once I receive the video, I will watch it and grade their performance. If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail or call at any time. The music for "Gently Sleep" has been posted in a previous blog post (scroll down). As always, thanks for stopping by!
