Our teacher will save you the time/trouble and will order the book/recorder as a group and pass them our in class. Payment will be  due by October 1. We will be using them the second half of the first semester. Students will use various rhythm instruments in class, such as: rhythm sticks, jingle bell instruments, egg shakers, sand blocks, kazoos, triangles, drums, glockenspiels, etc. If you have some/all of these instruments, your child is welcome to bring them to class and store them here at MHA for the semester so they are available during class. (These instruments can be fun to make at a budget with a few household items and store items - please contact us for ideas on knowing how to make them - or you can purchase them at a reasonable price through Amazon.com.). However, your child is NOT required to bring these to class. There is a class supply of instruments available.
