Hybrid (in-person and online)

Have you ever wanted to learn recorder but didn’t know where to start? Or maybe you played recorder years ago and are ready to return to it in a friendly, low-pressure environment.  Join our brand new Recorder Foundations and Beyond class, taught by experienced instructor Andrea MacDonald. This class is designed specifically for adults with little to no experience — just curiosity, a sense of play, and a love of music.  

This amazing course is 12 weeks long and registration is now open!

Setting: Hybrid

Keren Ferguson

Goals:

• Mastery of all basic fingerings (2 octaves)
• Familiarity with the three most common keys in recorder music (C, F, G)
• Development of solid breath support and tone production
• Ability to count and articulate rhythms
• Introduction to simple trills
• Road mapping through scores and common musical symbols

Class Format:

• 12 weeks of instruction in hybrid format
• The first class of each month will be held in-person and over Zoom, running concurrently with the BCRS Monthly Meeting (2 hours)
• The remaining three weeks in the month will be over Zoom only (1 hour)

While you’re welcome to attend all classes over Zoom, joining the in-person sessions is strongly recommended, if possible. Being there in person allows for more individual attention and ensures that Andrea can hear you play — something that isn’t possible over Zoom.

Session dates (all Thursdays) are below.
Bolded dates are in person or over Zoom from 7:00pm PT to 9:00pm PT
Un-bolded dates are over Zoom only from 7:00pm PT to 8:00pm PT
