The toddler was sent a Pirate themed Open and Play Recorder pack! Whilst the husband sighed I thought it’s never too young to be musical. The music classes I used to take him to have clearly rubbed off as he’s been enjoying the recorder and making lots of music! The recorder is very easy to play which makes it an ideal instrument to learn more about music. The Blue Recorder Pirate pack contains a Starting to play book & CD, and pirate themed stickers (including fish, maps, skull & crossbones, parrots and pirate hats!).
The Open and Play recorder pack includes:
High quality three piece coloured descant recorder
Recorder cleaning rod and carry bag with drawstring
Themed fingering chart with handy ‘Starting to Play’ tips
60 peel-able themed stickers so you your child can decorate the recorder and music
Easy to understand ‘Starting to Play…’ tutor book and CD to begin playing straight away
This is an ideal music gift pack for children of all ages, and retails at a very reasonable £9.99

My first instrument was a guitar – I was about 9 and it was an adult one and almost as big as me!! It didn’t have a case so I used to put a black bag over it and lug it to and from school…. needless to say I only did it for a week!

This brought back some memories, my first instrument was a dulcimer, I don’t suppose many young people know what one of those is nowadays.
