 Let your students experience the powerfully motivational
recorder method that has inspired millions worldwide!
RECORDER KARATE
A Highly Motivational Method For Young Players
by Barb Philipak
If you’re looking for a classroom-tested, carefully planned recorder method, look no further.
Or if you already have a favorite method and would like to add special magic and amazing
motivation for your students, this unique kit is the answer. It has everything you will need to get
started with young recorder players.
At the heart of this method is a positive reward system in which students receive colored
“karate belts” to hang from their recorders for each progressively more difficult tune. Stories from
hundreds of teachers rave about the success it has created with all types of students. The
Teacher’s Handbook walks you through the entire teaching process in a logical,
easy-to-understand narrative, and it provides an array of teaching tools designed to make
beginning recorder study a joy for teachers and students alike. And since this Kit comes with the
rights to reproduce, your students don’t have to buy books of their own. However, Student Books
are available to save you the time and effort of photocopying. Included in this Kit are:
• A detailed description of how Recorder Karate works, complete with instructions for
teaching the basics of playing the recorder, working in groups, and testing.
• Dozens of helpful tips for handling day-to-day issues, including instrument care, noise
control, and classroom management techniques.
• Reproducible settings of nine familiar songs, arranged progressively for the nine levels, most
with new concepts and notes to study.
• A Performance/Accompaniment CD (or MP3s) featuring simple recordings of all songs to assist in classroom work and with
public performances. As a bonus, it also features more elaborately orchestrated treatments of some tunes for special performances.
• Handy reproducibles including a fingering chart and worksheets on the history of the recorder, how to hold it, how to play it, and
how to care for it. Also included are certificates, a sample letter for parents, and plenty of recorder and “karate” clip art.
• Aside from the basics of playing needed for the students, it also includes a more in-depth tutorial for teachers on “How To
Play The Recorder.”
Add new life to your beginning recorder classes with Recorder Karate, a great stand-alone method or a fun supplement to any
current method you are using. This kit is available in these formats: Print/CD; Downloadable PDFs/MP3s; and as a Convenience
Combo Kit which includes both the Print/CD and Downloadable components.

RECORDER KARATE 2
A Highly Motivational Method For Young Players by Barb Philipak
New Levels & New Music arranged by Paul Jennings
Recorder Karate 2 picks up where Recorder Karate left off. This amazing second volume has a
lot more music with fully orchestrated accompaniments. The selections are divided into logical
sections, including nine Black Belt Degrees. Here are the basics with information about some of the
music included:
• Review & Sequencing - Continuing the teaching sequence in the first volume, Recorder
Karate 2 provides options for tune substitution in both volumes. This section includes Doggie
Doggie, Four In A Boat, Arirang, Red River Valley, and The Water Is Wide.
• Black Belt Degrees - Nine new arrangements, carefully sequenced with increasing technical
challenges, include The Wedding March (Wagner), Old Joe Clark, On Top Of Old Smoky, Can Can,
America (My Country ’Tis Of Thee), Polly Wolly Doodle, I’ve Been Working On The Railroad, When
Johnny Comes Marching Home, and Eine Kleine Nachtmusik.
• Advanced Music Beyond The Nine Black Belts - To provide substitution options and
additional levels for more advanced players, we have included Buffalo Gals, Aura Lee, Home On
The Range, Rocky Mountain, Renaissance Dance (Susato), Largo from New World Symphony, and
Take Me Out To The Ball Game.
• Seasonal Music - New arrangements for holiday performances within the method, all of
which can also be used for testing, include Jingle Bells, We Three Kings, and Shalom Chaverim.
• Concert Selections - We also provide longer, fully orchestrated concert settings of some songs within the method, including an
optional duet setting of The Water Is Wide, a theme and variations on Four In A Boat, and a rich orchestral setting of Aura Lee.
• Teacher’s Handbook Full of Extras - The Teacher’s Handbook brings together all of the creative teaching ideas that Barb has
developed over the years using Recorder Karate in her classroom and in workshops with other teachers. Among the things covered in this
indispensable book are sections, often with worksheets, on: Common Problems and How To Fix Them, Classroom Management/Testing
Survival, Working With Special Needs Students, Anchor Sheets and Exit Slips (with downloadable examples), and Dojo Groups.
• MIDI files and Loads of Valuable Extras online - It’s truly more than we could fit in the book! Exclusive downloadable extras
include MIDI files for each tune so that you can use the music at any tempo you like. Online extras feature RecorderDojo.com which allows
your students to practice with the tracks online. The downloadable extras also include reproducible/projectable charts and worksheets such
as: How to practice and a Weekly Recorder Practice sheet; Rubric for testing; “I Can” statements; Piano/Recorder scores; posters; Quizzes on
counting and fingering; and Worksheets on things like F vs. F#, high C vs. low C, and other similar challenges.
This kit is available in these formats: Print/CD; Downloadable PDFs/MP3s; and as a Convenience Combo Kit which includes
both the Print/CD and Downloadable components.
