Yes, I play! I was going to take grade 8 this term, but never got round to doing the work and so didn't enter. Maybe next year . . . .

I play descant, treble, sop, tenor and bass. Did it at school so no grades, but I could sightread grade 4 stuff two and a half years ago, so I think I must be pretty decent. :biggrin:

What's wrong with anyone watching you? :p:

Recorders are actually proper musical instruments, with a long history going back centuries, and have had music written for them by many eminent composers...shame some people don't realise this! (I don't mean you, by the way...)

I get so, so irritated when people claim that they aren't 'proper' instruments! So what if they aren't orchestral? Neither are guitars, after all... :wink:
