A year-long music initiative is launching across ten York primary schools. The Great Tudor Recorder Project aims to break down barriers by allowing children who might not usually have the opportunity to learn an instrument. Music educator Paul Harris has written a new recorder book, 'Recorder for Beginners, the Tudor Way!', and is supplying each participating school with a full class set of these books alongside recorders.

York Music Hub has sourced and funded four professional recorder tutors who will provide weekly lessons throughout the academic year. The ten schools involved are Tang Hall Primary Academy, Fishergate Primary School, Woodthorpe Primary School, Scarcroft Primary School, Wheldrake with Thorganby Primary School, Dunnington Church of England Primary School, Naburn Church of England Primary School, Burton Green Primary School, St Paul's Church of England Primary School, and Osbaldwick Primary Academy.

The project will culminate in a large-scale concert where all ten schools will perform together. The University of York is conducting research alongside the initiative, monitoring the views of pupils and teachers to track its success in inspiring young performers.
