I started playing recorder around age 6, then took it up again in college when I discovered medieval and Renaissance music. I've been an amateur early musician ever since, playing recorder, shawm, harp, dulcian, pipe-and-tabor, and voice, particularly the music of 13th-15th-century Europe. (I also dabble in viola da gamba, hurdy-gurdy, cornetto, bagpipe, and percussion.) I've been studying medieval music notation since about 2005, and have taught a number of classes on it in amateur or historical-reenactor settings.
