My third grade son and I have been learning to play the recorder this winter. I wanted him to learn a bit more about music, but without adding another appointment/lesson to our family schedule/budget and so turned to the activity that was part of my own elementary school days.
A quick trip to the Willamette Valley Music Company and we were up and running for under $10. We purchased a small plastic recorder and a beginning music book.

Just spending 20 minutes, two or three days a week, has been a nice opportunity to tackle this project together. Our boy picked up reading the music notes quickly and has shown quite a bit of curiosity in what is ahead. Here are two of the first songs he has mastered. Little by little, we are learning together.
