Junior Recorder Society

Calling all Teachers...Leaders...Young Recorder Players...


The Junior Recorder Society is a three-year enrichment supplement to an ongoing course of recorder study. The program has three aims, among others:

  • to fit the needs of a variety of situations--public or private school classes, private lessons, church or temple activities, recorder clubs, etc.

  • to provide materials that will be appropriate for "mixed" classes--those groups having children of differing ages and/or experience and ability levels 

  • to provide the teacher with an expansive list of music, books, videos, and other resources, as well as to provide continuing up-to-date lists of workshops and other resources for his or her own personal growth

The emphasis is on ensemble playing with and for friends, and promoting a life-long love of the recorder in young players. 

For Teacher/Leaders

A Leader's Resource Notebook providing: 

  • different approaches to beginning recorder teaching, each written by a teacher active in the field addressed

  • articles concerning ways to begin a recorder club

  • suggestions for the classroom and for recorders in religious settings 

  • information on ornamentation, consort skills, and many other topics--all written by experts in their fields 

  • A four-page Leader's Guide accompanies each student activity sheet below, providing details on the music presented and suggestions for further development and study 

For Students

Three activity sheets per year, containing music, graphics, background information, and activities on the following topics:

  • first year: folk music with European roots, native to the Americas, and from Australian, Asian and African sources
