Late Starter Recorders |
Benslow Music, Benslow Lane, Hitchin, Hertfordshire. SG4 9RB Many of us learn the recorder at primary school but then promptly forget about it. If you are one of those people and find yourself yearning to take it up again and develop your skills beyond the most basic, then this new course is for you. Evelyn Nallen will gently guide participants and work on technical and musical matters. With the mutually supportive atmosphere that we like to foster at Benslow, by the end of the course you will surely have the impetus to keep working at it . Please note that you should bring your own instrument and know the essentials of how to read music.
