Music K-8 Music Sampler Podcast

This innovative series from the pages of Recorder Classroom magazine takes the tunes that end up in many methods and breathes some new life into them with cool arrangements that fit the notation in most methods.

While the setting sounds great with just piano, the recorded tracks feature a clean, clear brass ensemble that provides a perfect accompaniment. This work is the ideal first 2-part opportunity for a young choir, and it lets even large, more experienced choirs sound amazing. The a cappella recording of the work may even tempt you to try it with just your singers.

This beautiful old Christmas spiritual has always been a favorite, so it was a work of love for Teresa Jennings, who has produced a striking new arrangement for your choir. It works great as a 3-part mixed setting, with the third part working well for changed or changing boys' voices, as well as for girls with a nice lower range.

This classroom-tested, carefully planned recorder method incorporates a positive reward system in which students receive colored "karate belts" (not included) to hang from their recorders for each progressively more difficult tune.

In this kit, we combine these great resources for teachers everywhere. As a matter of fact, there is so much content that it has been broken into two jam-packed volumes. It stands on its own, as did each column, and is a must for teachers at any point in their careers.

Give your young singers the opportunity to express their inner elves with this cute song. As easy as it is to sing, you might also want to add a bit of movement and costuming. We've included some simple choreography ideas that you can imitate or adapt however you like.

This unique set of progressive warm-ups and workouts is designed to help you warm up for each tune in Recorder Karate and tunes from many other methods. Each selection is fairly short and comes with an exciting, contemporary recorded accompaniment that will make your students want to play them over and over as they learn.

Grandma's house and pumpkin pie, turkey and mashed potatoes, and the pounding of Celtic drums on a cool November morning! The music has a rollicking feel to it, and the fiddle and penny whistle play the melody line, which should help young singers who are learning this song for the first time.
