Aimed at Beginners+. No experience needed but if you have played before and would like to get back into it or play in a group then you are also welcome.
All welcome. The sessions will be led by amazing local player and teacher, Mary Hooper.
We think making music in a group is a wonderful way to build connections and have fun, and can also help support wellbeing and develop confidence and skills that you can take back to school.
The sessions will be informal and relaxed and aimed at enjoyment, with an opportunity for a cuppa and a biscuit before you start so you can chat to peers and build your network.
The recorder is not only a very versatile instrument, it is easy to learn and it actually makes a very beautiful sound when played properly.
There is some wonderful and diverse music arranged for recorder and following on from our recent “Year of Recorder” projects we know that people are very enthusiastic about it when they hear it played with some skill.
Curiosity, enthusiasm and a descant recorder! We have a few we can lend, but we suspect most people have one hidden in a drawer somewhere! They are also a very affordable instrument so if you would like to buy one then we recommend either a yamaha or aulos make.
A term costs £40 which is £5 per session, or you can pay for the whole year at £120.
