Recorder classes for adults

Recorder ensemble and lessons Wednesday evenings:

Lessons for beginners are at 6.30pm. No previous experience is necessary. The goal is to enjoy the experience of learning an instrument while sharing music with friends in a supportive environment.
A guided ensemble meets at 7.30pm. This is a great opportunity to explore different musical styles and improve our playing while having fun.

The venue is Unit 2, 55 Fulham Road (next to Pimlico High School). If you are interested, please contact Heather 4778 8275 or at hc4816@bigpond.net.au for further details. If you know someone else who might be interested, please pass on this information.
