| Chicago Chapter of the American Recorder Society |
| Music Education Outreach Program |
| The Chicago Chapter of the American Recorder Society has started a small-scale Outreach Program whose intent is to promote and assist the teaching of the recorder in inner-city public elementary schools. |
| We can offer help to recorder playing teachers who wish to set up a program in their classroom. We can also assist those who need instruction or opportunities to improve their own playing before starting to teach others. |
| Learning to play the 16th, 8th, quarter and half notes translates directly into improved math and reading skills. Attention spans are lengthened as longer pieces are learned. |
| If your school needs assistance, we would be able to help provide recorders, instruction books or desk stands. |
| If you would like to receive more information, please contact us at 773-363-7476. We can discuss with you whatever is best for your needs and your school situation. |

| The recorder is not just a pre-band instrument, but an authentic wind instrument in its own right, with its own history |
| The low cost and portability of the plastic soprano recorder make it an ideal instrument to introduce children to the discipline and beauty of playing music. |
