Red Hot - Recorder Tutor 1 | Beginner Recorder Method Book with Play Along CD | Step by Step Recorder Lessons for Kids and Students | Sheet Music Songbook for Music Class or Home Practice Sheet music – 20 Jan. 2015

Back in the day, we were learning the recorder by listening, screeching and more screeching. This book is very well laid out to teach absolute beginners how to read music and play the recorder. The book teaches note values, rest values, tempo, simple Italian music terms, everything you would expect to know to learn to read music. The tunes on the CD are catchy and well-structured. Preparing the student for practice (with a slower paced practice track) and then when confident, for performance (same piece but at a substantially quicker pace), these are set out in a logical step-by-step approach which are engaging. Tracks 7 and 8 are just two examples (of many) of this great teaching technique. Student (6 years old) struggled at first and then after some practice, was delighted and proud to be able to play the "performance" track. Highly recommended.

My pupils love this book and it is easy to follow. Great value with the backing CD included. Would buy more Hot Recorder books.

My son needed the book for his lessons. Worth the buy.

Useful book for beginners !

Thanks

Bought a copy as was the book being used in our six year old's recorder lessons at school. Clear descriptions inside and seems a very logical approach to initially learning to play the recorder.

It was for my child and so far so good, used in school. Although it came on a Sunday and then I missed the delivery because I wasn't aware that they delivered on Sunday.

My 10 year old requested this as they use this book at school. Not being a great fan of the recorder myself, I wasn't keen, but he has practiced lots and he sounds really good now. I think the CD definitely helps. Would recommend without reservation!
