4th Graders just earned their recorder Yellow Belts! To earn these belts, the class needed to play three songs: Acka Backa, Ickle Ockle, and Mill Wheel. These songs all contain common melodic elements (notes E, G, and A) and rhythmic elements (ta, ti-ti, and ta rest). All fourth grade classes were able to earn their belt!
Now, students have the option to test individually on the songs Come Butter Come and Bell Horses to earn beads. These songs contain the same rhythmic and melodic elements, but are a challenge because students need to learn them on their own from the notation and play them by themselves.
Congratulations fourth graders!
Hear Mrs. Hyland's 4th Grade class perform "Acka Backa" in the video below.
