Third grade students learn to play the recorder during music class. They learn to read notes on the staff, play rhythms, and how to hold and play the recorder correctly. These skills help students to become better musicians. Students are learning some of the same skills involved in playing a band instrument, which they can choose to do in fourth grade.
