January—
Free online recorder course for beginners

The American Recorder Society offers online courses for soprano recorder and alto recorder.  See the offerings on the American Recorder Society website.  Jody will offer a soprano or tenor recorder course for beginners (or near-beginners) in early January.  What a great way to fulfill that New Year's resolution!

It's a pandemic!  How can you learn?

If this pandemic has taught us anything, it is to try new ways to make music.  Within a few weeks online teaching was in full swing.  Now organizations and instructors around the country have begun to adapt and improve instruction.  There are many opportunities, but I encourage you to check out some of these resources.  The silver lining is that you can choose to take classes with the most amazing teachers you could dream of--and only a Zoom code away!
