The recorder: Anything but old-fashioned!

Posted on: Thursday 23 September 2021

Often mocked and singled out, the recorder is often put aside when it comes to being chosen when we want to start an instrument. Deemed too simple, small, not Rock’n Roll, and especially associated with music lessons at school, the flute does not have a good reputation.

Who would want to learn this instrument that broke our ears in class? Nobody?

Well here are, I hope, 5 good reasons that will make you change your mind and reposition the recorder among the instruments that could really interest you.

The price of a recorder

A wooden soprano recorder is barely more than a hundred francs. The sound is rich and less aggressive than plastic school flutes. This type of recorder is perfect for quality learning. It has a standard size and will be very suitable for learning at any age.

The size of a soprano recorder makes it easy to transport

Barely larger than a pencil case, the recorder can be stored anywhere, takes up no space and can be taken wherever you want.

The recorder allows rapid learning and gives immediate satisfaction

In just a few weeks of work you can already play simple melodies of famous songs. One of the best work-result ratios. Many scores & methods for recorder are also available on our website. Playing an instrument that is not very visible is the guarantee of standing out from the crowd, of being noticed. Imagine taking over Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, William Farrell on the recorder. It is the assurance of being unique.

The beauty of the classical repertoire

As a bonus, listen to Vivaldi’s concerto for flute in G Major RV 443 performed by Lucie Horsch and see that we are far from school lessons. Like any musical instrument, the recorder offers elegance, finesse and nobility.
