Music Is Elementary Recorders

With years of experience and a strong community of teachers and musicians behind us, we understand what makes a great classroom recorder. That’s why we created MIE Recorders: to be durable enough for everyday use, affordable for schools, and musical enough to make playing rewarding. With several series to choose from, you can find the right fit for your students, whether they’re just starting out or ready for ensemble work.

Written by experienced teachers, our blog offers free resources, fresh ideas, and classroom inspiration to help music educators feel supported through their teaching journey.

Music Is Elementary’s “Ask an Educator” space offers support, resources, and inspiration for elementary music teachers at every stage of their journey.

She shares insights drawn from nearly two decades of teaching across the U.S., China, and Poland. Her global experience highlights both the universal challenges and the creative possibilities of music teaching, and she’s here to offer practical guidance, encouragement, and real-world solutions.
