what do you do with a recorder when your child is done with it?

Remember seeing this post sometime back….

We just gave ours away to a neighbor who turned to be just opposite us who wanted it for her daughter and didn’t want to buy one. Her mother didn’t mind ours had my daughter’s name, her nervous little tooth marks (But it wasn’t too bad and didn’t have heavy chewing like those in my school days) and when we listed on Facebook buy nothing, she was the first to respond. Glad it went somewhere rather than the landfill. Maybe it is a good idea to list it there.

SOrry to say but it is really gross to play a recorder in the bathroom and then leaving it there. It will be full of germs! Hopefully she is. It playing it while doing the big business in there!! Ewww

Your toothbrush is also in the bathroom…

Throw it away. As a musician, they are the worst introduction to instrumental music a child could ever have. Don't pass it on.

My kid had one year of recorder at school, walked into the University of Maryland’s instrument exploration clinic before 4th grade, and was able to play songs on the clarinet and saxophone with no coaching and no sheet music.

If that’s the worst, maybe we should try to get the kid whatever the best is. It just doesn’t seem necessary.
