Post 4: Recorder Karate

Welcome to our 5th Grade Recorder Karate unit!  We are going to have a blast learning more about music, becoming better performers, and earning recorder karate belts!  More information will follow but for now, here are the links to use for practicing the White Belt song (Hot Cross Buns).  Practice, practice, practice!!

For the test, you will play along with the fast version of the song.  Start by practicing the slow version and when you are able to play it with no mistakes, a steady beat, and a good tone, try the fast version!
