On May 3, “Funny Recorder Duet”, formed by Taiwan Recorder Association founder Guo Kun-zhao and retired elementary school teacher Lin Qi-wen (林啟文), performed at Haiduan’s Chulai Elementary School. The one-hour duet performance, which included Renaissance, Baroque, current pop, and cartoon music, provided the audience of teachers and students with a pleasant afternoon of fun and musical knowledge, stimulating both the intellect and emotions. 
 
At the musical performance, Guo Kun-zhao and Lin Qi-wen introduced the origin of the recorder and other members of the recorder family, as well as presenting these students in remote areas to some rarely seen instruments like the Flauto Rondo and Great Bass, demonstrating the range and tone of these fascinating instruments. On top of all this, Lin Qi-wen revealed has masterly skills by playing two flutes at once, leaving students and teachers frozen with awe and wonder. When just before finishing the performance Lin Qi-wen asked the students to raise their hand if they would like to learn to play the recorder, the majority all enthusiastically raised their hands. It was clear that this teaching performance had planted the seed of learning the recorder into the minds of these children from the Bunun tribe.

台灣木笛協會創辦人郭焜照老師與台中市南屯國小退休的老師林啟文老師所組成的「直笛二人組」，5月3日到台東縣海端鄉初來國小，為全校師生演奏了含括文藝復興巴洛克音樂和現代流行樂曲及卡通音樂，兩人精湛逗趣的表演與解說，讓全場師生渡過一個小時兼具知性與感性的愉快上午。 

郭焜照及林啟文老師透過樂曲演奏，介紹木笛的起源及木笛家族的成員，並帶來在偏鄉難得一見的大低音笛、倍低音笛，並現場示範吹奏，讓小朋友了解這些樂器的音域與音色，林啟文老師並露了一手同時吹奏兩支直笛的絕技，讓師生大為驚奇。結束前林老師問小朋友聽完演奏會後，更喜歡直笛的請舉手，結果大半的學生都舉手了，可見這次的演奏教學，已經在這些布農族學生心裡種下了學習直笛音樂的種子。
