After completing the course our 9-year-old can play several basic notes, understands fingering and reads simple treble clef lines — the 10-week structure and focus on fundamentals really helped.

We signed up hoping to learn basic note reading and proper recorder technique, and the course delivered on both. The progression from simple melodies to preparing for a virtual recital felt natural, and the weekly 45-minute sessions over 20 weeks provided steady improvement without overwhelming our schedule.

Our 8-year-old fit right into the 8–11 age range and stayed engaged throughout the 20-week program. Forty-five minute lessons once a week were just the right length.

Overall a very good beginner course, though I wish there were optional practice materials or brief follow-ups between the once-a-week 30-minute lessons.
