Thank you to the following investor for funding this grant.
Lucie Jenny MacCarthy Music Fund - The Community Foundation of Collier County - $739.60
I would like the third grade students at Avalon to experience the joy of having their own instrument and learning to play it without the burden of paying for it.
1. Students will choose the color of their instrument, write their name on their book, recorder, and case, and how to properly care for the recorder.
2. Over the following 15-18 music classes the students will learn the basics of recorder playing, (fingering, posture, breath control) and learn the basics of reading music. (staff, treble clef, names of notes, rhythm...)
3.With the books students can practice during music class, at home and in music room before school starts.
4. In May the students will perform for their parents on the stage, using selected music to share their level of skill.
5.I have many students that keep working on their recorders in subsequent years and can perform in class, for their family and when the 4th graders play and sing at Artis-Naples,
The ability to read music is similar to speaking and reading another language. Once they learn the basics of reading music, each student can easily progress at their own pace. that's why the books are so important.
Students at this age (3rd grade) are so excited to be able to play an instrument themselves! The recorders and books enable the students work, learn, play and perform using their newly acquired skills!
Even though the grant is written for 3rd grade, I have many students that keep working on their recorders in subsequent years and can perform in class, for their family and when the 4th graders play and sing at Artis-Naples,
These are medium quality plastic recorders with an outstanding book written by a nationally acclaimed music teacher and author, Artie Almeida.
