BMS is running weekly group lessons ONLINE for children to learn the recorder alongside their parent/carer(s). The sessions will include recorder skills, music reading, games, partner/family activities, improvisation, composition and a range of musical styles. Ms Dykes will be running these sessions and they will be lots of fun! There may even be guest appearances from other BMS teachers!

Under “normal” circumstances around 7,000 children a week learn the recorder in Music’sCool sessions run by BMS tutors in Brent primary schools. Covid has made it difficult for us to teach recorder even when the schools were open in the Autumn term. Your child may already have been learning the recorder at school, so this is a great opportunity to ensure that they do not miss out and for you to join in the fun with them and understand more about their learning.

Which recorder should I buy?
Which recorder should I buy?
Recorders are relatively cheap to buy. The cheapest ones often don't sound very nice and some of the notes can be out of tune so be careful! The cheapest good one we have found is: A-star recorder approx. £5
If you would a better one, or a funky colour, we recommend Yamaha (YRS20 / YRS24) which is about £10 and comes in a range of colours. You can buy them from Amazon or direct from Yamaha
Size: Descant/Soprano
Fingering: Baroque.
If you need a recorder and are unable to buy one due to your current financial situation, please indicate on the application form and we will do our best to help you.
