Congratulations

you have made a great work. Recorders are the best. I aspire to get an orchestra in the next years.

Thank you for share this beatiful example of young musicians.

Thanks for the video. I had noticed that lots of people in your country play the recorder.

I started playing a descant at school 55 years ago and have carried on playing ' on and off ' ever since.

Well, I'm an American who was only visiting Taiwan. I live in Xiamen, China just across the straights from Taiwan. Unfortunately, the recorder is NOT popular at all here in China. It's strange when one remembers that we're talking about the same people, language and culture(mostly Han Chinese). But poltically, of course, China and Taiwan are very different.

Keep playing the recorder. I'm 45 and hope to play till I die!

Excellent! Thanks!

in the 1970s, I couldn't find anyone here (Taiwan) who even knew what a recorder was ~even in the Music Department of my university (師大, NTNU). Now recorders are universal.

Unfortunately, a lot of people think the recorder is just a toy for teaching grade schoolers, not a serious instrument. More work needs to be done, and the people in this clip are contributing greatly. 加油!!

Excellent overview with fine examples of playing of various student and professional groups. Looks like Taiwan has a smaller-scale version of El Sistema of Venezuela, focused on recorders.
