What we do:

We welcome anyone interested in playing the recorder to join our playing meetings. We typically read through a varied selection of music. Sometimes we are led by a guest director. Most months some of our talented members select the music and lead the ensemble. Those with a crisis in confidence about their playing, or who want some technical support, can spend the first hour learning with Jean Allison Olson.
