Recorders for Pleasure


Group Description :
Come and join us with Recorders of all ranges, descant, treble, tenor and bass. Players need to be able to read music and have basic skills in playing recorder.  Our aim is to enjoy playing music in two or more parts hence the name of the group is Recorders for Pleasure!  At the same time we hope to encourage each other to make progress and become more skilful. We are starting with some Welsh melodies in two parts. After that we will add to our repertoire according to the interests and abilities of members. 

We will meet first and third Thursdays in members’ homes from 2.30 pm to 4.30 pm.
