4th Graders have earned their recorder Orange Belts! To earn their belts, students needed to perform three songs all together as a class. These songs were Apple Tree, King's Land, and Pease Porridge Hot.Orange belt songs included the pitches G, E, A, and new note C (so, mi, la, and do). C is very difficult because you need to cover every hole on the recorder. We heard lots of squeaks, but also lots of successes! Students also needed to add half note rhythms to their bank of rhythms to help them perform these songs.
Hear some examples of these songs below, performed by Mrs. Potter's class.
Next, students have the choice to earn orange beads by taking individual tests on the songs Chain Chain Daisy Chain and Mouse Mousie. These songs include all the same concepts as orange belt songs.
