Magic Flute Instrument Game Grade 3

3rd graders have been learning about composers in music the past 2 weeks. One game they played that they might enjoy playing at home is a Magic Flute (by Mozart) instrument listening game.
Here's the link to the game:

Recorder buying options for grades 3/4

4th graders will be playing recorders for a few weeks. 3rd graders will likely be playing recorders in a couple of months. They will be using the school recorders, but if they would like to purchase their own to practice at home or to bring into/keep at school, here is a great option.

This recorder is currently $4.99, with free shipping on orders over $35 on Amazon, and is the #1 selling recorder on Amazon. This is a higher quality recorder than you may find in dollar stores, but those are still decent options for at-home practice. At-home practice is not required for students but could be enjoyable for them. Local music stores such as Blue Mountain Guitar in West Lebanon should have recorders in stock as well, but this will be a higher price than Amazon.
Feel free to email me with any questions about this at Moons@hartfordschools.net.
