Music Updates:  Ms. Mashburn has released info for ordering recorders. You should have received the order form via the Globe Gazette. Just in case you didn't get it,  I will send a mass email with the attachment. Also, if you have questions about the online game see the letter from Ms. Mashburn Below!
Happy Monday everyone. :)

Hello GLOBE parents,

I have had a few questions about the online recorder game listed as an option for purchase on the recorder order form. 

There are actually two games available from JoyTunes to make music learning and recorder practice exciting and interactive.  Register and give them both a try for free at www.joytunes.com/teachers.php?tok=rmashburn13@yahoo.com. Students will need to connect to me (select "Connect to Teacher") and I will immediately receive feedback about their practice and understanding. There are many free resources and purchase is not necessary in the first few levels, so please take the time to register. The best part is they play their recorder to control the game and it only requires a microphone on your computer - if you use Skype, you are fine. Here are the options:

1) Recorder Master Game (try for free via link or on AppStore for ipad) - Complete "worlds" by playing the recorder and scores are sent to Ms. Mashburn. Extra games can be purchased online for $14.99 through the JoyTunes company.

2) Recorder Express Game (try for free via link, not available on AppStore) goes page by page in our recorder text book and supports their learning through interactive games. I receive immediate feedback about their practice time and can plan more individualized instruction based on the scores.

Again, even if you decide not to purchase the activation code for the full game, all students should register and give the games a try as they offer many free and fun resources.

If you know you would like to purchase the Recorder Express Game Activation Code, please include the additional $10 with your recorder order form. If you wait to purchase the code, it will cost $14.99.  I have attached the order form, in case you haven't received a copy.

Please contact me at rebecca.mashburn@theglobeacademy.org with any questions.

Thanks,

Rebecca Mashburn, Music Specialist
