Children don’t usually ride tricycles or play Tee-ball with thoughts of turning ‘pro’, or dream of professional recorder-playing careers, but tricycles, Tee-ball and descant recorders are good teaching and learning tools.They prepare the way for later development, and teachers and parents have been happy to commit to their use for a very long time because they work.
