te and Clarinéo - musical instruments made out of plastic, yes, plastic! These instruments are ideal for the music classroom and home, where bumps, knocks, and drops happen all the time. The size and lightness of these instruments are perfect for the young beginner, encouraging good posture right from the start. Made with the ordinary person in mind, Nuvo instruments are affordable and easier to maintain than traditional instruments. "I am a flute player myself, and have been teaching flute for the past many years! When I discovered Nuvo plastic flutes and clarinets there was no question that they had to be introduced to the South African market. I see all the time how the size and awkward position of the flute makes it harder for my little kids to have a proper chance at playing the flute well. Also, I work with an NPO and the flute is a choice for very few people; it is too costly to buy a decent beginner metal flute. With Nuvo plastic flutes I'm excited to see that change." - Ilke

"I first encountered the Nuvo Clarinéo, their plastic clarinet, a few years ago and was amazed at how easy the instrument was to play. I also really liked the idea of being able to play from the same music that flutes and other C instruments play from. Ilke then introduced the Nuvo plastic flutes to me and I was interested to see how Nuvo had made the process of learning these instruments much easier for children, and adults too! We shared our thoughts and felt it was important that we spread the word about them. They can make a real postive impact on music education in our country. We don't just want to get instruments to people, we want to make a difference!" - Cam

Ilke and Camron share Nuvo's vision, and it's because of this that NowNowMusic was set up. "We would like to see the plastic flutes and clarinets become widely used in music education in South Africa, and because we believe in the ideal of 'Learn now, play now!', we're committed to making it possible."
