Sakura in A Minor Pentatonic for Recorder

This is a paper I use with my students for melody reading using the Japanese folk song Sakura. It begins on A and is easily playable on the recorder in A minor pentatonic. The top of the paper has letters in boxes representing the notes for those students who are not reading music on the staff or those who are having trouble with reading music on the staff. We will often focus on one area of the page or the other.
