Description

Discover - or rediscover - your musical self with a beautiful instrument, the recorder. It’s not just for children! Played by folk and professional musicians for centuries, the recorder is actually an ancient instrument known worldwide. Called the “sweet flute” in many languages, it comes in a range of sizes, tiny to huge, that can be played alone or blending beautifully in a group. In this class you will get a fun and rewarding brain workout learning to play the alto recorder. No previous music experience required, but practice at home is expected.
