Instrument of Torture or Instrument of Music?

The Recorder in Education
The focus here is on institutions and organisations which provide
recorder tuition at tertiary level. Inevitably, a list of this kind will contain outdated information & other errors. I would be most grateful for corrections & additions you may think necessary.
Online
An increasing number of teachers are available online, amongst them:-
- Patrick O'Malley (USA) teaches recorder to students in many locations via live video-conference
Argentina
Australia
In Australia students of the recorder can sit for the
series of graded examinations offered by the Australian Music
Examinations Board (AMEB), by Australian & New Zealand Cultural
Arts Ltd (ANZCA), and by Trinity College London (TCL) leading
variously to Licentiate, Associate and Fellowship qualifications as
for any other serious musical instrument. State and National
Eisteddfods, the ABC's annual Concerto and Vocal Competition and
other music contests provide ample scope for competitively-minded
players. The recorder is accepted as an instrument study at a
number of Conservatoriums, Colleges & Universities. And there are
a number of private teachers in all major cities and some country
centres.

In France, music schools fall into the following categories:
- Ecoles Municipales (city schools)
- Ecoles Municipales Agrées (the same, but with government
recognition)
- Ecoles Nationales de Musique (regional music schools)
- Conservatoires Nationaux de Région (nearly the same as
ENM)
- Conservatoires Nationaux Supérieurs (CNSM, professional
schools, Paris & Lyon only)
Recorder is taught in most of these schools by more or less
capable people, sometimes by players of modern instruments,
sometimes by specialists who have made a serious study of the
recorder.
At the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de
Paris (CNSMP) the recorder is not yet taught, although an Early
Music section exists in which instruction on other early
instruments & performance practice is available. At the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Lyon (CNSML), recorder is taught part-time by Pierre Hamon.
At the Conservatoire National de Région de Paris recorder is taught by Arianne Maurette (a viol pupil of Saval and
Garido), and at some Conservatoires Municipaux de la Ville de Paris recorder is taught by several people including Laurence Pottier in the 9th arrondissement, Sébastien Marq and Pierre Hamon in the 7th, Marcello Milchberg (a pupil of Marion Verbrüggen), in the 20th, Michelle Tellier & Françoise Defours in the 6th, and so on.
In most of the bigger towns there exists an ENM or CNR with
recorder courses. & Conservatoires populaire de musique, offer recorder tuition in many cities throughout France

Galante reports that the recorder can be studied at the following tertiary institutions.
The recorder is taught in almost every elementary and high school
as well as in a number of private schools.
Netherlands
In the Netherlands the recorder is taught very widely. The conservatorium system is such that a Bachelor's degree, a four-year diploma specific to a particular instrument and not a general classroom teaching qualification, is the basic course of study. Upon completion of this diploma, selected students are allowed to undertake a Master's degree, a diploma which generally takes one more year.
