Review: Best book for beginners starters (soprano recorder) - As a professional advanced tenor and bass recorder player I found this book helpful for people who are first starting out beginners but the songs are too extremely easy you just have to study and learn the notes I found this helping at first but since I play the tenor and bass recorder and I am an professional advanced player who has played several instruments like piano,drums,violin,tenor and bass recorder,flute,Congo drum,guitar I need more advance professional books Review: Ideal for beginners - big or small. - My granddaughter has started to learn the clarinet and to encourage her I decided to go back to playing the recorder after a fifty year break! I was also inspired to start again by watching a performance by the English Baroque Soloists of the Bach Easter Oratorio at the BBC proms last year (2013) where there is a beautiful part for two recorders) I have all three of the "Recorder from the Beginning" books for descant recorder. They were written for children which is great because when it comes to music I'm a 65 year old child. Make sure you get the versions with the cd. The cd is most helpful especially if like me you have trouble figuring out the rhythm and beat. On the cd each tune is played first by a solo recorder and then twice with a backing track - really instructive, entertaining and encouraging. And now I can read a bit of music, which is very satisfying. I highly recommend these books. After a couple of months of regular practice I've improved from gruesome to awful, but that is not the fault of these excellent books. At least the dog has stopped howling so I must be doing something right.

Good for beginner
Not impressed with the songs, they're pretty silly. Using this book with a YouTube follow along. So far my daughter is enjoying it. Really good for a beginner, detailed instructions

bello
In questo libro ho trovato diversi materiale da poter usare (scuola primaria 8-9-10 anni). Inizia con le note si-la-sol, introduce fin da subito le crome, poi passa subito all'uso della mano destra. É un metodo di lavoro impostato diversamente rispetto a quelli che uso, ma non é affatto male, inoltre ha delle canzoni diverse dal solito e con delle belle basi

Good Basic Practice Book
This is a very basic book for learners with instructions that are easy to understand. There are some fun tunes that I enjoy practicing regularly as there is quite a bit of variety included after every new note taught. This book in conjunction with the more detailed 'First Book of the Recorder' by Philip Hawthorne makes my practice sessions far more interesting and fun. Definitely recommend using additional beginner books along with this one. The cover page arrived with a split corner so this is probably not a brand new book. Fixable with a little glue. Other than that, it's still a good book to have on hand and am quite glad I got it.
