Every student in 3rd Grade is borrowing a school recorder this year. Since we do not want these recorders lost (or left at home on a music day), 3rd grade has been told not to take school recorders home. Thankfully, you can get a recorder for your child to practice on at home for less than $10!! I recommend Denver Guitar Center, where you can find nice, inexpensive Soprano Recorders like this one. Or, if you would like one that matches what they are playing at school, you can purchase this one online for just $4.
