The Recorder Group currently has vacancies for players and would like to welcome YOU, if you’ve played in the past and would like to take up this versatile instrument again.
What do we play? More than Greensleeves! There’s lots of music from early to modern times, composed or arranged specially for recorder groups working at different levels and we cover a wide range for this level, which is improvers to moderate. [I myself play with Hampshire Recorder Sinfonia and the Wessex branch of SRP.] Once a month we invite a local recorder professional along to conduct us and offer expert insights.
To join us, you will need to
– be free on Tuesday afternoons 2pm-4pm every week. (Not a drop-in group, I’m afraid – this needs commitment!)
– have a recorder (actually, we like everyone to play at least two sizes)
– have a music stand
– be able to read music and rhythms at a basic level
– be familiar with the fingerings on a recorder
– be prepared to do some practice at home so that you can make good progress in the group
