Event Overview

Many people think of the recorder as that horrible instrument they had to play in fourth grade. Because of this, it is common for many to think the recorder is not a real instrument - but it has been played spectacularly by virtuoso performers for centuries!

You can play the recorder as well. In this class, we will cover a bit of background and history, we'll learn a range of notes on the recorder, and we round it out with the main objective - playing easy pieces together. You will not only learn a new instrument, but you'll also learn use your new skills to connect with others who are as passionate about music as you are! Join me in making music with others!
