Years ago when we first started discussing Recorder Karate, I devised my own series of songs (almost all of which are Music K-8 songs):
White - "BAG-O-Saurus" from Music K-8, Vol. 6, No. 1Yellow - "Rockin' Around The Hound Dog's Blue Suede Shoe BAG" from Music K-8, Vol. 7, No. 1
Orange - "Sandpiper" from Music K-8, Vol. 5, No. 5
Green - "E's E Jammin'" from Music K-8, Vol. 3, No. 3
Blue - "Ode To Joy" from Music K-8, Vol. 6, No. 2
Purple - "Da Da Da Da Da Bomp!" from Music K-8, Vol. 8, No. 5
Red - "Amazing Grace" from Music K-8, Vol. 11, No. 2
Black - "Irish Washerwoman"
For those kids who wanted more songs, I added the following:
First Degree - "Saturday Night Star" from Music K-8, Vol. 10, No. 4
Second Degree- last song from "Easy 8"
Third Degree- Brahm's "Lullaby"
Green - "We're Off To See The Wizard"
Blue - Mozart's aria in two parts (They need to play both parts to earn the belt.)
Purple - "Für Elise"
Red - "Star-Spangled Banner" from Music K-8, Vol. 10, No. 5
Black - "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik"
I have an additional eight songs for alto recorders as well. I'm not saying you shouldn't buy Recorder Karate; I'm saying you can add to it any way you want.
