LOCATION
The Church of Saint Mary The Virgin
145 West 46th Street
Between Sixth and Seventh Avenues in Manhattan
Meetings are in St. Joseph’s Hall, a side chapel of St. Mary's. Located in a brick building to the left – or west – of the main church, the entranceway is distinguished by the street number 145, which is prominently displayed on the door.
Recorder players at all levels are welcome. Beginners should be comfortable with either the C fingerings of the soprano and tenor or the F fingerings of the alto and bass. Eventually, beginners should learn both C and F fingerings so that they can enjoy playing different parts of a musical piece.
Bring any size of soprano, alto, tenor, or bass recorder that you have. You will have a chance to explore more than one part of each piece. Both plastic and wooden instruments are welcome. Pitch is A=440.
PDFs of the music for each meeting are sent to NYRG members prior to the session. Other players who would like the PDFs in advance should contact newyorkrecorders@gmail.com.
Please bring a music stand. We recommend that you bring a stand light to supplement the ceiling light.
