Electric Recorder Workshop With Sarah Jeffery!

World famous recorder player and YouTuber Sarah Jeffery has visited SWeet! and given a fabulous workshop on electric recorders.  She brought and demonstrated her EWI and her E-corder, and was very kind to let all our students have a try on each (using anti-bacterial wipes between students).

We were inspired by Sarah's incredible playing and amazed by the awesome sounds it's possible to make, using an electric version of our instrument.  From windy sounds, to percussive sounds, to sci-fi sounds and beyond, we were fascinated by what we could hear, and what we could play.

We then performed two of our recent pieces for Sarah, and she was able to hear the personality of each student shining through the tight ensemble mix.  We finished the session with a Q & A, which included questions on Sarah's YouTube channel (223k subscribers, in case you're wondering!) and a question on circular breathing, which Sarah then demonstrated for us with the longest single note we have ever heard!

A huge thank you to Sarah for an absolutely wonderful evening of fun, friendship and music-making!  Go join those 223k subscribers right now!  https://www.youtube.com/@Team_Recorder
