[Artemisia] Uprising beginning recorder class

[Mary Hodges]

The recorder class on Friday is free unless you want a book.  The book 
is "The Sweet Pipes Recorder Book" by Burakoff and Hettrick, book 1, for 
soprano recorder, at a cost of $5.50, or the same book for alto recorder 
if you are planning on playing an alto or sopranino.  I have 4 copies of 
the soprano book available for sale.  You can purchase the book at music 
stores such as Chesbros in Idaho Falls, or on line at Boulder Early 
Music Shop http://www.bems.com

Bring a music stand and a chair if you have them.

Sweet Pipes publishes many recorder books, all with similar names.  If 
you want the book that I will use for the class make sure you get the 
one that says "a method for adults and older beginners" by Burakoff and 
Hettrick.  You will also need a tenor, alto, soprano, or sopranino 
recorder that can be tuned-that is, a recorder that comes apart in two 
or three pieces.  Plastic is fine, in fact, preferable for outdoor 
settings IMHO. (A group of beginning recorders will be excruciating 
enough without being out of tune.)

Alto or sopranino players need the alto book, tenor or soprano players 
need the soprano book.

I will be able to do a better job teaching if I know who is coming 
beforehand and what, if any, music background you have (hint, hint), so 
let me know by e-mail (hodgemary at onewest.net)if you are interested in 
this class.

I remain, your obedient servant,
