Fun And Games With Recorder Tune Book 1

Fun And Games With Recorder Tune Book 1

This special method for beginners, first published by Schott in German in 1990, is adapted into English by Peter Bowman. "Fun and Games with the Recorder" serves as a comprehensive tutor covering all stages from initial notes to professional instruction. Designed for children making their first musical discoveries, it links playful engagement with the instrument to higher artistic merit.

The series offers a carefully planned pathway for individual or group learning, focusing on consistent practice with breathing, sound production, and rhythmic security. Written directly for children, the exercises are accessible even for those who cannot yet read music, inviting parental or teacher involvement in the learning process.

Tutor Book 1 is aimed at children around six years old and focuses on notes B, A, G, E1, C2, and D2, allowing ample time for articulation and breathing techniques. Subsequent books expand the range of notes and introduce the treble recorder. The accompanying Tune Books provide additional practice pieces, enhancing the learning experience. The Teacher's Commentary offers insights into the teaching methodology, making this a valuable resource for educators. 32 pages.
