Question: I would be very interested to know exactly how you are threading the beads onto the neck straps. Do the kids do it themselves? Does it take long?
Answer: I just untie the neck strap on the under side of the halo hanger. Then, I take it out through the hole, thread the bead on, put the red strap back through the hole, and retie the strap in a small knot. Works great and takes about one minute. I do it either right when they play for me or later in the day. I have all the Recorder Karate charts on my big bulletin board, so I can check those to see which ones to add each time.
See pictures of an example recorder and my bulletin board in the Photos section of the Recorder Karate Dojo.
