Recorder Order Form Grade 3/4

Student Recorder Order Form: 

Dear Parents: The Grade 3/4 students will be playing the recorder this year.  They have the opportunity to purchase their own recorder, student book and practice CD. When students have the book and practice CD, they’ll practice more, sound better, and they will achieve better results on the recorder. The package consists of a good quality recorder that contains no harmful plastic (safety tested), a student book and a practice CD. 

If you wish to purchase the package that is offered through the school please fill out the form and return it to your classroom teacher with cash for the appropriate amount. Cheques will not be accepted. This will greatly cut down on photocopying and allow for your child to practice at home.   We will be using the Complete Recorder Resource Kit by Denise Gagne. Please return this form by Feb. 17thas that is when I will be putting the order in.

Complete Package: Recorder / Book / CD $10 _______

I own a recorder and just want the book/CD: $5 _________

I just need the recorder: $7 _____

Sincerely, 

Mrs. Coulson
Please email if you have any questions jabaine@cbe.ab.ca
