Save the recorder! 🎼 Reports suggest the prevalence of the recorder in schools is falling rapidly – but _emilybootle argues this is not something to celebrate even if you are haunted by the tinny squeaks of “Three Blind Mice”
Reports suggest the prevalence of the recorder in schools is falling rapidly – but this is not something to celebrate.

– one of the leading specialist music schools in the UK – has this week reported an 80 per cent decline in the number of its pupils who play the recorder: it has three this year, as opposed to 15 a decade ago.

The recorder waned in popularity during the Classical and Romantic periods – the eras from which you’ll hear the most on Classic FM – when composers favoured more advanced woodwind instruments such as the flute and clarinet. Recorder performances today often come under the category of “historically informed performance” – concerts at which you might also find harpsichords and viols.
