Customer Reviews

It is an excellent book for beginner.
I bought 4 recorder seft-study books and I regard this as the best recorder book. There are a lot of good songs to practice.

Great way to begin, for kids or musically challenged adults
A really easy introduction to playing songs that sound good right from the start. Painless way to learn to read music. The accompanying CD works well with separable recorder and accompaniment.

Great for a newbe with no previous musical education
This book quickly gets the reader to play simple but imprssive enough music to get this person confident in one's abilities and interested enough to continue.
It also does a good job in easing a beginner into reading basic musical notation by starting with a more simply and intuitive version of it.
My only complaint is that the difficulty of the exersize passages picks up very sharply about half way through with no excersizes suggested that will get one's skill up to par. Playing earlier passages over and over simply does not do it. As a result, I had to look for the excersize information elsewhere.
