What is this recorder supposed to sound like???

 The 4th grade classes are getting back into the swing of things with our recorders after a little break to focus on some other units. As we learn more pitches, some of us were having trouble with our technique and were experiencing some "squeaks." One class, frustrated by this setback, asked to see some examples of good recorder playing. I was so pleased that these young musicians want to see what is out there, what there is to aspire to. So, here are just a few examples that I found with a very quick search, but there are SO many examples and resources out there, kiddos! Explore and find something that you want to learn to play! (I think a "student's choice" assignment might be in our future!)
