The Recorder Group

Leader:  Joan Gibson - recorder@ashbyu3a.co.uk -

The recorder group, meet twice a month, to make music in a relaxed, fun way. I would hope that we would be able to cater for a wide range of experience and skill. We usually meet each month on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays at 10am, but occasionally it varies. Check here for up to date information.

August

The recorder group met as usual on the first and third Thursday mornings in August but we had a visiting conductor for the first session. There seems to be general agreement his input is beneficial. We are able to tackle slightly more difficult pieces of music and play them to a noticeably better standard, which is satisfying. We only need a few pieces, when we have the conductor.

At the second session of the month there were fewer attendees than usual and we sat in our usual circle formation. We had the music from the previous session on the list to be played, but it became apparent that they were not going to go well without the conductor, so we quickly moved onto other pieces, which went much better.

We will meet as usual in September on the first and third Thursdays.
