About Recorder Classroom Magazine

Children love recorders, and recorders can change their whole musical outlook.

Recorders are a special part of a well-rounded music education. They are wonderful instruments with a long and rich history, and they provide students with an ideal way to experience the joy of instrumental performance. Throughout the history of Music K-8 magazine, we have tried to provide a wide variety of music, and through Plank Road Publishing we offer a number of other recorder resources. But when we created our unique magazine, Recorder Classroom, it allowed us to approach the material in a more dynamic fashion.

Currently, there are two volumes and one special edition issue. Here's what you will find in each of them:

  • Lots of Great Music & State-Of-The-Art Recordings! Listen to excerpts.
  • With lots of variety...
  • Our regular feature Recorder Method Energizer
  • Special Contributors with Special Resources

Is there another full year of Recorder Classroom in the works?

We have enjoyed producing this magazine, and we are extremely proud of all we have done in it; however, we are not publishing Volume 3 of Recorder Classroom just yet, for several reasons. The main reason is that we are a small company, and doing two magazines was taking a toll on the people who published them.

However, we've decided that even though we're not publishing four issues as usual, we wanted to do something special:

A Special Edition Issue of Recorder Classroom

This special issue contains all new material (as usual), structured like every other issue, but centered on one theme: Folk Songs.

Recorder Classroom: Focus On Folk Songs.

You'll find everything you have come to expect from Recorder Classroom, including our great team of writers working with all types of folk music. As with our previous issues, this jam-packed issue also has a number of valuable, web-based resources.
