SRS is keenly interested in promoting recorder playing in the schools. SRS has conducted a
number of concerts and workshops in the schools over the years. The regional workshop with Nina Sterne and
Shane Shanahan in 2013 included a day devoted to school music teachers. Please contact us if your school
