Fun and Games with the Alto Recorder: Teacher's Commentary

(Schott). This method for alto recorder places great importance on developing musicianship, breathing technique, sound production, rhythmic security and the introduction of music theory. At the heart of this method lies a seamless crossover from soprano to alto recorder whilst maintaining and developing the student's soprano recorder playing. It is aimed at children of around 10-12 years. As in the previous books in this series for soprano recorder we address the child directly and provide carefully planned and precisely formulated exercises. This method is suitable for use both in group and individual lessons. The accompanying Tune Books offer a broad range of solo and ensemble music which is graded to match the technical and musical progression of the Tutor Books.
