Welcome to PatrickRecorder.com

I’m Patrick O’Malley, a musician and music teacher specializing in the recorder, the most beautiful instrument in the world.

I hope this website answers your questions about the recorder. Some free information is available for recorder students and classroom teachers.

Chicago is my home, but if you are interested in private lessons, you don’t have to be here in the Windy City. We can do lessons via online “chat” if you have a computer with a camera and microphone. Please see the Interested? page.
