Grade 2 - Lesson 1 (Q4) (Karate Recorder Dojo)

The Second Graders are beginning their training in the Recorder Karate Dojo.  This method for recorders was created by Barb Philipak and uses several songs for the mastery of certain skills in music and recorder playing.  Each song has a corresponding color, and once a student has successfully played the song, he/she will receive a belt for his/her recorder.  At the end of the program if all belts are received, a student will have at least nine different belts for the recorder.  

The songs and their corresponding belt colors are listed below:
