Welcome to PatrickRecorder.com
Three exciting new links:
First, you can hear a free recording of me playing Henry Purcell’s “Chaconne” at the website for Trio Settecento. It was a live performance with Rachel Barton Pine, baroque violin, David Schrader, harpsichord, and John Mark Rozendaal, viola da gamba. Just sign up for their Ezine.
Second, you can also hear me at the Ars Antigua Presents podcast for May, 2010. There I performed a sonata by Francesco Barsanti with Jerry Fuller, violone. (You can see a photo of a violone, too!)
Third, don’t miss seeing a video of one of my students, Amy Pikler, playing the first movement of the Christopher Ball Recorder Concerto with Midwest Young Artists here.
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.
