I am winding down my recorder classes for this school year and will not be offering recorder basics until fall. Sorry for any inconvenience. I hope you check back in September! If your learner already has recorder experience and would like to join level 1, 2, 3, or masters, please message me and we will work to find the right level for them. Thanks! 


NOTE: This class is a pre-requisite for Recorder Karate Level 1.

The recorder is a wonderfully easy instrument to learn to play and makes a fantastic introduction to the world of instrumental music.  The Recorder Karate method is fun and motivational.  As students learn more and more intricate songs, they will earn belts - ultimately reaching the level of Black Belt!

Students will progress through 3 levels on their recorder journey (plus the one-time basics class to get them started).  Once they've earned the required belts at each level, they can progress to the next.  Each level is designed for students to learn at their own pace, yet in a group setting.  

During class (in levels 1-3) we will review or learn a new concept together as a group.  Then we will have opportunities for individual students to earn their belts if they are ready.  I will answer questions throughout class and give individual help as needed.  During the week, students will practice the songs they are learning for their belts.  

BASICS Class:
This class will teach brand new recorder players everything they need to know to start their Recorder Karate journey!  
We will learn:
How to hold the recorder
How to care for the recorder
How to make sound and play the first three notes
How to play the first (white belt) song!

This is place to start before enrolling in level 1 if you have never played the recorder before, or if you need a refresher.
