Although the recorder is often the instrument with wich children will make their first musical discoveries it is also an instrument of the highest artistic merit. This series of books tries to link these two extremes providing a carefully planned pathway between first playful contact with the instrument and professional recorder playing.The three Tutor Books are suitable for use both with small groups and for individual tuition. Progress is methodical and is made in small steps placing great value on consistent work with breathing sound production and the development of rhythmic security.In the Tutor books we speak directly to the child and provide carefully planned precisely formulated exercises. We recognise that some children learning the recorder will not yet be able to read but hope that this will provide an opportunity for a parent or teacher to become involved in the learning process. Each step in this process should be fun and accessable to both the parent/teacher and the child.Tutor Book 1 is intended for children from about six years of age. Previous musical experience is not essential but undoubtedly would prove useful. It concentrates on the notes B A g E1 C2 and D2 leaving sufficient time
