The Canberra Recorder and Early Music Society is aimed at people of all ages and abilities in the Canberra region who share a love of this ancient instrument. We offer regular playing opportunities with those who are like-minded in an informal and social atmosphere, as well as workshops led by professional tutors. Members are encouraged to play in consorts or small groups, and to form links with other players in the Canberra region. Members are entitled to use of the CREMS music library. Twice a year CREMS participates in a weekend workshop in Bundanoon, in southern NSW, in conjunction with the Sydney Society of Recorder Players.

Programme
Regular
monthly playing meetings are held. A small fee is charged to cover
the cost of room hire and tea, coffee etc, and tuition when
appropriate.
Blow-Ins
Blow-ins are an
informal opportunity to play with others, and have fun at the same
time. All members of whatever standard are welcome to come along
and have a blow. Those hosting blow-ins are welcome to suggest
music of their choice (please advise the Committee in advance).

If you would rather dance than play, or, indeed, both, then think about joining our Dance Group. Dances taught are from the 15th 17th Century France, Italy and England. Wear loose clothing and low shoes (with leather soles for preference). Happy shoes and jiffies are satisfactory.
