Welcome

Welcome to recorderman.com – a website designed to help teachers, parents, students, or anyone wanting to have fun making music, play cool songs, and learn to improvise on the recorder, guitar, keyboard, piano, violin, Orff mallet, or any C instrument. We’ve simplified the process of playing jazz and improvising by writing unique tunes, and by creating solo echo patterns and solo accompaniment tracks, along with interactive lessons and solo examples, to make it easy to learn.

Our Passion

We began publishing music with the desire to help students continue their personal involvement with music making after they leave the classroom, and to make teachers’ lives more efficient and productive. With that goal in mind, we offer our newly updated website help to make a difference in the lives of children and adults throughout the world. Let us know how we’re doing and how we can help. Enjoy the music!
