I remember 4th grade was recorders, and in the fifth grade they began the elective of band, which I took because I could play the recorder. I chose to learn clarinet. Then in middle school practiced as a group with everyones instruments.

It was then, in fifth grade we began learning to read music properly. Today, I cannot remember truly how to read misic, but I remember many of the fundemtals from that time, and it’s aided in learning bass guitar after highschool. And now, I can aide my son in his learning guitar.

But it all started with hot cross buns on the recorder.
