Some type of recorder has been found in almost every culture of the world. The oldest instruments date back to the Middle Ages, including one from the 14th century that was dug out in Tartu, Estonia. Today, the recorder has become a popular instrument to learn at music schools and play in music classes.
There are also lots of stories about all kinds of whistlers and pipers, and the power of their music. Perhaps the most well-known of these stories is the one of Hamelin´s whistler who, at first, charmed the rats to follow him into the river of Weser and thereafter persuaded all the kids of the town to follow him and his captivating music.
In order to stop your kids from blindly following every charming recorder tune, it makes sense to get them used to the sound of this instrument at an early age or, even better, to teach them to play the recorder themselves! This is why the Recorder Workshop has been added to the Seto Folk´s program. Even though the mastering of the instrument will probably take quite some time, with the help of the Värska Music School piano, accordion and recorder teacher Elo Toom, some tunes can be learnt even from the first try.
Since this workshop requires active participation, the number of participants is limited and pre-registration at the Children Area is required. However, a place at the workshop can be guaranteed by bringing your own instrument to the workshop.
