We are excited to announce the commencement of our recorder program as part of the SJA Arts Curriculum for grades 1 through 6.  Recorders will be used as a means to explore, practice and showcase the musicality of the students at St. Jude’s.  The recorder program will begin in Term 3, and will be a large part of the Term 3 Art assessments.
Students may choose to bring in their own recorders from home if they are already in possession of the instrument in the soprano range.  Families also have the option of buying a recorder directly from St. Jude’s for $10.00.  These recorders will become the possession of the student to be used throughout Term 3 and will be taken home with them to keep at the end of the program.
We look forward to the enjoyment and education that is sure to follow this exciting musical program!
