RECORDER METHODS
for beginners and
schools.
I keep a few copies of the titles below
for the benefit of clients buying first recorders.
There are no dedicated methods for the tenor... use one for the descant.

Print this for yourself or your pupils!
Two identical pages make a multiple print of two A5 side by side on A4.
Use coloured paper or card for maximum impact.

Recorder Playing
by Steve Rosenberg |
| This is a straight forward and well thought out method with an emphasis on early music. The tunes are good (definitely no 'jingles'!) and there are many duets. The material goes up to G above the stave, with some 'black notes' omitted. There is though, a full fingering chart. |
