Jolly Old Saint Nicholas
I post this in honor of my friend KJ, cuz she remembers her kids learning to play the recorder. Apparently no matter where in the U.S you live, your child will learn this little ditty in the fourth grade. (I have to wonder, though, do they all get to play it with that jazzy background music?)
Princess A is the girl in the red sweater that does not have white sleeves showing. Sorry it is shot from the back, but the kids were all facing the overhead projector in order to read the sheet music.

naersI will probably go down in history at Eastern Elem. as the only fourth grader to flat out quit the recorder.
I left that inisde of weeks in favor of the violin. So instead of remembering how to play 'Jolly Old St. Nicholas', I have 'Old McDonald Had A Farm' firmly burned into my psyche.
Too bad not much else of the lessons stuck.
The recorder is not an option at our school. It is a requirement. But they never play it for the parents, they have a 4 - 5th grade band that performs at the Holiday concert. I love that they put the music to the front, seems like there is a way to project it to the back, after all we parents want to see our angels. thanks for sharing it was cute.
