Welcome to Recorders Without Borders!

CONNECTING KIDS AROUND THE GLOBE THROUGH MUSIC

What we do

Recorders without Borders seeks to provide sustainable recorder music education programs in Kenya. Our comprehensive approach includes training videos and support materials for educators as well as gently used recorders donated by US students for Kenyan learners. We share the gift of our expertise and resources at no cost to Kenyan schools so that their learners can experience the many benefits of a rich musical education.

Kenyan Students in Action!

 

  • "Over 10,000 recorders destined for the bottom of closets, thrift store or worse have been rescued and united with grateful students in seven countries"

  • “I think it’s wonderful for the students to be able to see, ‘Wow, my gift did make a difference in another country where they don’t have nearly what we have here.’”

  • "I would like to personally thank Recorders without Borders for the recorders donated to our students. They really enjoy the newly introduced musical equipment since it was previously not known to them."
