Recorder Karate is a method of teaching recorders to young children. The book that is used has 9 songs that correspond to nine different "belts" like in regular karate. Each time a student passes a song, they get a colored "belt" or string to hang on the end of their recorders. The object, obviously, is to get to the black belt.
