	how to play with CD accompaniment
	how to effectively practice and play with others
	At the end of five weeks, participants should be able to easily plays five notes, breathe and blow to create a pleasing tone quality, play a variety of simple rhythmic patterns, and read music.

Three or more players @ $5 per person. Other, more advanced ensembles (Reveling Recorders and the Willow Wind Consort) are coached by Kay without a fee.
