PLAYING THE RECORDER IS FUN FOR STUDENTS!

Using a "karate" belt system in the music classroom for measuring progress and rewarding success is a fantastic tool. I have used Music K-8 and Music Play Online Materials which are both fantastic. The challenge came with setting the rubrics, testing, grading, and recording the grades. I created a recorder belt test form for the students to complete before testing which saved me time. Details are included on steps to follow for the students and the teacher.
