All pages of your recorder packets and your Recorder Karate books have been uploaded! These are unlisted links, so you will need to get to the videos using the links below on this page. Thanks for your patience! I will have RK Book 2 videos up soon. :)

I'm sorry it is taking so long to upload more recorder videos. I hope to have more by the middle of this week, Wednesday or Thursday. Maybe sooner, who knows? Thanks for your patience! Keep up a little practice between then and now, and remember to keep that left hand on top! :)

Hey kiddos, just a quick update. I will have the pdfs that you need to play from uploaded today to this website. See below for more details. Soon there will be more lessons available on YouTube: the full packet, the Recorder Karate book (for belt testing), and Recorder Karate Book 2. So keep checking back, and thanks for your patience! The school office also has extra recorders and hard copies of the music, so give them a call if you have a need for one of these. For everyone's safety and in fairness, please only take what you need, if you need it. If you are able to access this website, there should be no need to go to the school.
I hope everybody is having as good a time as you can during this weird time. But I also hope you are all doing your very best to keep learning while we are away. I know all of your teachers are working hard to help you keep up! Be in touch if you need anything. :)

Hi there, 3rd grade! I hope you have been doing some thinking about music and other learning during our shutdown. I miss playing with you all and I am bummed out that we didn't get much time with your recorders. But have no fear! I am in the process of recording some links for you so we can still play together. Keep checking back, because I have a lot of recording to do, and who knows when the next link is going to post! I will do my best to get the whole packet and book recorded and posted on YouTube for you as soon as possible. I will talk to you soon, I hope, and look forward to the next time we see each other. Be in touch with me any way you would like, if you would like. Be helpful and kind to everyone, and be the good kids I know you are. :)

Hi there, 4th grade! I hope you have been doing some thinking about music and other learning during our shutdown. We actually have a lot to talk about, kiddos--next year is band instrument time! But let's put that aside for just a little bit yet, okay? I'm excited for that, too, but there's still a lot to learn with our recorders, and I know for a FACT that many of us need to catch up to the group. So let's look on the bright side--now is an AWESOME time to catch up at your own pace, if that applies to you. If you are way ahead, keep up the good work. I have given you a lot of music to work on, especially those who have already achieved their black belt. By the way, if you think you can handle it, and can consistenly play the black belt song for your family or friends, let me know and I will find a way to get you the extra song pack.
Friends--there is NO SHAME in being a little, or even a lot behind. We all learn at different speeds, remember? But you absolutely MUST remember one thing: BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF. We talk about this a lot, don't we? It totally applies to the rest of your life, by the way, but musically speaking, it means thinking truly about your strengths and your weaknesses and then confidently finding ways to improve based on how you truly understand yourself. I hope that makes sense.
I know I miss playing with you, and I really miss being able to help you learn more, so check out the links below, and keep checking back. It takes time to record stuff, and I have lots to record, so be patient with me, please. And as always, be in touch with anything you need. Be helpful and kind to everyone, and be the good kids I know you are. :)
