**Please see the message below from our Music teacher Mr. Hernandez about ordering a recorder for your child.**
All 3rd grade students need to have a recorder for music class. Recorders should be purchased online at johnkealmusic.com. The direct link is https://johnkealmusic.com/c-244-recorders.aspx. You can also search for “recorder” on their site, and select from the Yamaha colored recorders or the Yamaha cream-colored recorder. When you check out, be sure to select “Free School Delivery,” and select your district, school, and list your student’s first and last name. Your recorder will be shipped to Mr. Hernandez at AES at NO additional cost. You are also welcome to order your recorder from other sites, as long as you order a “soprano” recorder. Anyone with financial needs or questions should contact Mr. Hernandez via email at hernandezj@guilderlandschools.net.
