With years of experience and a strong community of teachers and musicians behind us, we understand what makes a great classroom recorder. We created the MIE Recorder lines to be durable enough for everyday use, affordable for schools, and musical enough to make playing rewarding.

Great music lessons are about more than learning notes and rhythms. They invite students to explore, experiment, create, and discover music for themselves.

The Purposeful Pathways series by Roger Sams and Beth Ann Hepburn brings this philosophy to life through four books of thoughtfully sequenced musical experiences, along with two supplemental resources exploring percussion and ukulele.

Drawing from Orff, Kodály, and Dalcroze approaches, the series gives teachers the freedom to shape each pathway into a meaningful musical experiences.
