I play multiple woodwinds, including recorder. Kids aren't taught how to play it right and the recorders they give the kids are kinda junky so they sound bad. The recorder is a quiet instrument, one doesn't "blow" through it, they touch it to their lips and exhale, least amount of air to sound the note is always the right way to play it, it fell out of favor because it's dynamic range is so limited.
This one is one of the best, and I've tried nearly all of them since they are so cheap:

Recorder is a gateway to other woodwinds, flute, saxophone, and clarinet, in particular.
