“Playing and Learning Soprano Recorder ' Volume 1 by Michel Sanvoisin is the first book of an anthology of classical pieces. Written for beginners, this method in English, German and French will enable them to acquire the seventeen notes most commonly played on the recorder. The additional notes are covered in a second book that also includes some revision work. It features pieces inspired by G. Gastoldi, Le Clerc, Pierre Attaingnant, William Byrd, John Dowland and G. P. Telemann among others. It is a great way to learn while playing nice pieces instead of just working on basic exercises.

This a colourful recorder tutor which guides children from the very beginning, including how to hold a recorder properly. Key symbols are explained at the outset and repeated throughout to encourage and aid learning. Music notes are introduced slowly and clearly, enabling good technique and musical literacy.

There are plenty of short pieces with jazzy piano or CD accompaniments at all stages and many of them have funny words or actions. Rhythms are clapped out, musical terms and symbols explained simply and games help promote understanding, all of which make this new book comprehensive yet enjoyable, easy to follow and fun!

And the best news of all is that the teacher doesn't have to be a recorder player or a musician -- just one step ahead of the children!

Includes pieces by Janos Bali, Gyorgy Kurtag Jr., Andras Soos, and others. With detailed commentary, photos, and graphics. This book is a proclamation: it calls for artistic thinking that is intellectually liberated, musically appropriate to the material and appealing (that is, community-creating). It is addressed to those who in music do not merely look for the finished product, but are curious about the genesis and possibilities of music... --from book's foreword.
