Quick, what’s the most played instrument in the world? It's the Recorder! Learning to play the Recorder has become an integral part of the curriculum of most school music programs in the US, and with good reason! Musical experience builds cognitive skills, and music rhythm exercises later translate to reading, writing and mathematical concept skills! Our 13" Recorder from Toysmith® is great first instrument for kids. This simple member of the woodwind family is easy to learn and perfect for teaching kids about music. This Recorder comes in fun, assorted, translucent colors; includes a cleaning rod; and is packaged in a snap-shut vinyl bag for storage.
