Figure 1.--This boy is working on a recorder, a basic instrument useful as a steping stone to learning a woodwind instrument.

The children are involved in instrumental music at all levels. Given the age of the children, most are beginners, but some have already begun when music lessons when they arrive at school. Opinions vary as to when children should begin to learn an instrument, but many experts are convinced the earliest the better. The basic program often intriduced the children to the recorder and ither basic instruments which is a useful beginning for the children who take actual instrumental instruction. By the time the children finish the program, come have become quite skilled with their instruments. Even those children who do not have great success find that the effort has enhanced their ablity to apprecite music.
