The recorder gets a bad reputation for sounding shrill and squeaky, especially the soprano. Yet both soprano and tenor recorders are capable of making sweet and lovely sounds, both as solo instruments and in ensembles. Join professional recorder teacher Laura Townsend for this class focused on sound/tone production and expressive phrasing, all while continuing to better understand the fundamentals of recorder technique. Conquer your fears and learn how expressive the recorder can be!

Attendees are expected to be able to play from low C to high G (an octave and a fifth including Bbs and F#s) and read those notes and general rhythmic patterns on the music staff. All music will be provided. You don’t need to be confident, just familiar with these skills – we’ll work on improving them further.
