Some classes offer instruction on soprano (or tenor) recorders, and others start on alto recorder.  Check the class description to see which recorder you will need and whether you will need to purchase a method book or whether materials will be provided by the teacher.  If the teacher is supplying instructional materials you'll receive a download link for these materials a few days before class. Each class is about 35 minutes in length, including a period for questions and answers.
