I am a professional musician and music educator, and I have taught recorder successfully for many years in private lessons and group classes.
Soprano Recorder: These are widely available in music stores and online, for an average price of $6.00-12.00. I highly recommend the Yamaha, Angel or Aulos models, and plastic is fine for beginners. It should use "Baroque" fingering. (Most do - but if it says German fingering, do not choose that one.) Westmusic.com has very good options and prices.

There are adaptive recorders available for people who need different configurations and placements of the holes. If your local store does not have it, I recommend buying that from West Music: Aulos A204AF Soprano Recorder, Adaptive Model
