The Cape Town Recorder Group was founded in 2001 with the object of providing cultural resources for deprived children living in urban Cape Town.
OUR CHILDREN
There are a total of 27 children in the group being are mostly primary school children. They are between the ages of 6 and 16. At the moment (July 2001) we seem to attract only girls. They attend local public schools. Many of them come from single-parent homes. Their parents are mostly labourers or semi-skilled workers.
OUR TEACHERS
Our teachers, Judy Turner and Pauline Adams are both full time working people. They offer recorder classes on Saturday afternoons from 13h00 to 14h30. They both play the descant recorder, but are currently receiving valuable training from the University of Stellenbosch.
