STOP PRESS: There are some spaces available in this group.

This is a “learning group” where making mistakes can be more fun than getting things right first time. We were set up to act as a feeder group for the main Lancaster u3a Recorder Group.

While many of our members have previous musical experience, often decades ago, you will be welcomed as a total novice, and we will teach you to read music and to play for fun within a group.

We can if you need also loan you a recorder to start this musical journey.

You will soon become integrated into the group, working at your own speed and setting your own targets. Recorder playing is good for the fingers, good for deep breathing as well as for lovely sociable music making. The combined Recorder Groups often go out to perform in various venues.

Contact details are available via the Members Portal or contact the Groups Coordinator for more details.
