About Instruments & Materials:

To get the most out of our lessons, it’s important that students have their own instruments to practice on. I have a small selection of beginner to intermediate plastic recorders available for use, but I recommend that each student purchase a recorder with ~baroque fingering~ for their own practice.

While Yamaha makes excellent pedagogical instruments, I especially recommend the models designed by Doris Kulossa. They have a more “recorder‑istic” character, with a sweeter sound, a stable low register, and more flexibility for dynamic playing.

These instruments are affordable and well‑suited for serious beginners:
Soprano (best for little fingers): around $35
Alto: around $50

As you progress, I can guide you toward selecting and investing in a quality wooden instrument, which is essential for more advanced playing.
