Welcome to the website of the New Zealand Society of Recorder Players
The society was founded in 1953 as an offshoot of the Adult Education Centre in Auckland, until in the mid 1960's it became an independant entity.Since then the society has matured and now has members of all ages and abilities throughout New Zealand.
OUR AIMS ARE
To provide opportunities for recorder players to meet for playing
To encourage recorder consorts
To provide a library of music
To improve the standard of recorder playing and encourage the authentic interpretation of recorder music
To inform people about concerts, music schools and other events of interest
To keep in contact with recorder players both in New Zealand and overseas
John's Guide to Recorder Playing on the Internet
The internet is becoming a great place to find all sorts of recorder related resources. You can find a couple of my favorite sites below. The Recorder Homepage
Compiled by Nicholas S. Lander the Recorder Homepage would have to be the most comprehensive resource for recorder related information in the internet. It currently includes links to videos, sound recordings, articles and more.
The youtube recorder channel contains literally hundreds of videos of people playing the recorder, including the very good, the bad and the downright ugly.
This page is close to my heart and still under development by Gianluca Barbaro in Italy. He also has a myspace page so if you are a member of the myspace social networking website you can add Gianluca to your friends network. His myspace page is www.myspace.com/gianlucabarbaro
Recorder Radio.com plays a mix of recorder music through the ages. Everything from traditional baroque classics to dixieland swing.
Note: It is worth noting that the Recorder Homepage provides a much better account of what is available on the internet today in terms of recorder related resources. This page is just to get people started :)
