Recorder
The Recorder may be studied either as a solo instrument up to and including Diploma level or as a means of accessing other orchestral woodwind or brass instruments. It is recommended that woodwind and brass students spend at least two years studying Recorder as this will provide a thorough grounding in the basics of woodwind and brass technique.
Students focus on developing a secure technical ability and covering a wide range of solo, orchestral and chamber repertoire. There are also opportunities to gain experience performing on doubling instrument and period instruments
Tuition is offered on a one-to-one basis with a 30 minute lesson from grades I-V and a 60 minute lesson from grades VI-VIII.
Group classes are available to beginners on Recorder (max. 3 students per class).
All Recorder students have the opportunity to participate in ensembles at the direction of their teacher. These provide an excellent and enjoyable support to the students’ studies.
