Hear it from the Kids Themselves This was an evaluation I did with my students at the end of our recorder unit after Link Up was complete. Students were asked to share one thing they did well, one thing they could ve done better, and a piece of advice for next year s recorder players.
Yes, the recorder is a real musical instrument! Misconception that a recorder is a toy or not a real instrument. Encourage students that the recorder is as real of an instrument as a piano, violin, or trumpet! Examples of professional recorder players: Vivaldi Recorder Concerto, RV 443 Telemann Recorder Concerto in F Major (TWV 51:F1) Bach Brandenburg Concerto #4, mvmt. 1
