HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR RECORDER

Please note: it is not necessary to clean your entire recorder every time you play.  The most important thing to clean is the mouthpiece once or twice a month if you are playing it often outside of class time.  Also, the entire instrument can be submerged in water if it is a plastic recorder. 

Here are some easy ways to keep your recorder clean:

 BASIC CLEANING

1. Shake the recorder in soapy water (dish soap)
2. Rinse

 THOROUGH CLEANING (requires adult supervision)

1. Shake the recorder in soapy water (dish soap)
2. Rinse
3. Place the recorder in a bleach/water solution for 30 seconds (1 capful of bleach for a sink of water)
4. Rinse
