May 5, 2002 - Toot!

Anyone who thinks the recorder is really just a plastic child's toy obviously hasn't heard some of the gorgeous music that has been written for it.  My mother has played the recorder for quite a few years now, and has a number different kinds (soprano, alto, etc.). Erin was still in diapers when she started "tooting" on my mom's recorders, and she was thrilled that she was able to make sound come out of it! This spring in school, Erin's taking recorder lessons as part of her music program, and is playing on a recorder that my mom bought her last year. She's doing great! When my mom's here in a few weeks, she's bringing hers as well, and the two of them will be able to play two-recorder duets together for the first time. I can't wait to hear them!
