I am working in special ed so I am most interested in your modifications=
for this group. I'm interested in your entire process but in particular=
this group. =C2=A0



For my group, it is an achievement to just play "B" on pitch. =C2=A0I have=
to think with care. =C2=A0Yes this one child fingers and blows. =C2=A0The=

Subject: RE: [RECL]Continue Recorder Karate








I do my recorder karate for 2 years - 4th and 5th. MY coworkers and I do=
the
same one and it is white through black and then 8 degrees of black belt.=
after
the degrees one of my coworkers created an alto recorder karate. I have=
not had
any kids get there yet but she did a few years ago. I expect the 4th grad=
e to
get the to purple or green by then end of the year and then I expect the=
5th to
get to the black by the end of the year.
I do 1 test a month during class time and then in May, after all my cho=
irs
and other groups are done - I have extra testing during lunch recesses. I=
had 2
5th graders get to the 6th degree black.
now we created our own k
arate belts so they progress faster than the
original, however, I use the original for my special ed kids. the slower=

progression to new fingerings is key for my self contained sped class.
if anyone wants to see what I have - I have most of it on Sibelius and=
I can
make things into PDFs.
