FREE recorder lessons for adults
Have you always wanted to learn to play an instrument but never had the time or money?
Thought recorders were only for children?
Come along to the newly established Napier Tech Recorder Group on Friday mornings 11am - 11.45am and give it a go. Only for adults, this group is for complete beginners, no musical knowledge needed. Bring a recorder and a folder for your music and drag a friend along too.
The tutor, Teresa Cuthbert is a primary school trained teacher with 26 years teaching experience in the classroom. Now, semi-retired she is following her passion for teaching music. Teresa teaches music at Napier Central School 2 days a week, teaches over 25 students instrumental lessons, and conducts the Napier Tech Junior Band and the HB Community Orchestra.
The group will start on Friday 28 February at the Napier Tech Band room at Whitmore Park, Barker Road, Napier.
The goals of the group are:
To learn to read music
To learn the notes on the recorder
To play music together
To have the opportunity to progress onto another instrument in the future (brass, woodwind)
Please get in touch to register your interest.
