About Recorders in Schools
This year-long program, designed for fifth graders, provides weekly musical skill-building. In partnership with classroom teachers, Grand Vision teaching artists lead students in 24 sequential weekly classes in recorder playing technique, reading music notation, and ensemble performance, culminating in a school recital for peers and parents. Included professional development empowers classroom teachers to connect the Meet the Music curriculum to history, culture, and mathematics.
