[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Throw it away. As a musician, they are the worst introduction to instrumental music a child could ever have. Don't pass it on.[/quote] I appreciate your perspective, but recorders are required in 3rd-6th grades at FCPS.[/quote] Not pp, but they are required in almost every elementary school system. They are still terrible instruments. I followed a tutorial so I could help my son practice his (I play piano, usually) and I found it quite hard to play. The holes are extremely hard to completely cover and, of course, it almost always sounds off-tune when you play it. I know this instrument is chosen because it's very cheap (in every way), but ugh! Just awful. I taught my son to play his tunes on the piano instead. [/quote]
