The recorder is perfect for adults just beginning to learn the language of music, as well as those who have past musical experience, and especially for those who appreciate a rewarding brain workout! This ensemble class will also share the social dimension of playing the recorder in a group. The class will move at a beginning level pace, starting with learning individual skills on the alto recorder and then blending as a group. It will feature a variety of styles of music from different eras, from medieval modes to country, courtly and chamber settings of Europe, to tunes that are familiar to us today. The recorder loves them all! Two separate sessions are offered this semester. Tuition and registration fees are required.
