How do I clean my (plastic) soprano recorder?

You can clean your plastic soprano recorder with warm soapy water. Then let it thoroughly air dry.

OR

Take the recorder apart (into 3 pieces) and place it on the 'tines' on the top rack of the dishwasher (where you usually place glasses and coffee cups.) If you have a high-heat drying cycle on your dishwasher, you will need to remove the recorder from the dishwasher before the heated drying cycle begins. Never put the recorder on the bottom rack of the dishwasher. Once the recorder is dry, it may be difficult to put the pieces back together. You may need recorder 'grease' to put the pieces back together. You can use a dab of Vaseline, Chapstick, or 'cork grease.' (Ms. Theisen has some 'cork grease' in the music room and she can help you.)
