The Wizarding World of Recorder

IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!!!!!!

What's finally here you ask?  The recorder curriculum you've been waiting for! 

I've been teaching elementary music for 18 years and I have tried all sorts of different methods to teach recorder in my classroom.  One of the more popular curriculums is Recorder Karate, which don't get me wrong - is great - but not for me.  I found with Recorder Karate, even after making my own rubric, nine songs was just not enough to have my kids get a good grasp on all the skills I wanted them to learn.  Also, Sleep, Baby Sleep is just too hard to be the second song!!!  I found that I was adding songs and constantly supplementing.  Then I purchased another curriculum from Teachers Pay Teachers, which I also loved, but it was 30 songs - way too many for my kiddos - last year only ONE kid finished!  I tried everything - I even had them playing the songs through Flipgrid so we could get in as many songs as possible.

So The Wizarding World of Recorder was born!

The Wizarding World of Recorder (WWR) is a curriculum of 20 songs of increasing difficulty divided into 9 color coded levels.  

Each song has the notes listed, a visual of the note on the music staff, and the fingering listed on the bottom of the page.

After students pass each level they can earn their card to take home or hang in the hall!  My students use Peripole recorders and really enjoyed getting beads on their hangers, so I made the levels color coded so they can still earn their beads.  Also included in the bundle are reward cards in case you have students who don't own their own recorder or you don't want to bother with the beads.

The bundle also includes song lists that you can either display or use and folder covers to organize your music.
