Recorder Karate Motivation Board

I have been teaching music for five years and have always used the Recorder Karate system. It keeps kids motivated and accountable. Students earn 'belts' (I use a small piece of embroidery floss) for playing increasingly difficult songs. Students can then display evidence of their skill, dedication, etc. by the number and color of belts on the bell of their recorders. For a little extra motivation, I made this bulletin board. Now, students get to move their name tags up as they earn belts!
