The best way to learn any instrument is to have lessons from a good experienced teacher. Although happily the number of such teachers is constantly growing the recorder is still frequently taught by enthusiastic but inexperienced teachers and many players start by teaching themselves.This series of books sets out to help learners of all ages in all three situations. Experienced teachers who may choose to disregard much of the text as personal demonstration is always clearer than the written word will find exercises and fine tunes a-plenty to support their own mathod at each stage. The less experienced willbenefit from many valuable teaching hints culled fromlong experience and may rely on the books to lead to a sound playing technique and a mastery of simple notation.Those learning by themseves - and I started in this way - are urged to work carefully and systematically through the books taking plenty of time to assimilate each point before moving on. For them without the personal model provided by a live teacher it is vitally important to listen as often as possible to fine players in person or on record so that they have in their mind's ear a clear notion of the kind of sound they would like to produce.But however they start I can only wish that all who use these books will derive as much pleasure and musical satisfaction and gain as many lasting and valued friendships as I have through this most subtle delightful and sociable of instruments. (Brian Bonsor)“...this work is likely to become a standart work very quickly and is to be recommended to all schools where recorder studies are undertaken“ (Oliver James Contact Magazine)These two tutors with accompanying teacher's books are for newcomers to the instrument who are beginning on the treble and so assume no previous knowledge either of the instrument or of musical notation.

Arrangeur: Ursula Schmidt-Laukamp. Par BLAVET MICHEL. Michel Blavet (1700-1768) était un musicien très célèbre et populaire de son vivant. Bien qu'il soit un autodidacte sur de nombreux instruments, son instrument principal était la flûte traversière dont il jouait de la main gauche. Ses compositions mêlent les styles italiens et français. Formellement, ses sonates sont des suites et ont souvent des titres programmatiques. La sonate op. 2 #4 est aussi appelé 'La Lumague'. Marie de Lumague (1599-1657) a fondé le mouvement Caritas en France sous le règne de Louis XIII. Il est supposé que les deux cette femme et son Blavet travail inspiré pour écrire cette sonate belle ./ Répertoire / Flûte à Bec Alto et Piano

THE JACOBEAN COLLECTION, Volume I: 18 Pieces for alto recorder and keyboard, ed. Larry Bernstein. This anthology fills an important gap in two ways: there is relatively little easy music for alto and continuo, and practically nothing from the 17th century. Dances by Horne, Adson and Dowland, some very lively masque tunes, and a magnificent set of variations, Dr. Bull's Ground. Score and part

Par SCHUBERT FRANZ. Presented for alto recorder and piano, the two most famous Ave Marias in music. Gounod’s, based on Bach’s first prelude and Schubert’s equally well known composition. They offer an undemanding blow for treble recorder in these arrangements by Sylvia Corinna Rosin or, perhaps a little more challenging, the Schubert will fit the tenor recorder, whose mellower tone will suit the music perfectly./ Répertoire / Flûte à Bec Alto et Piano

Par CHOSTAKOVITCH DIMITRI. Shostakovich composed a wide variety of music. His music includes Symphonies, String Quartets, Concertos, Sonatas, Film Music and Jazz inspired pieces. In this publication we feature the very famous Waltz No.2 from his Suite for Variety Orchestra arranged for treble recorder and piano by Irmhild Beutler and Sylvia Rosin. Familiar to many as the title music to the movie Eyes Wide Shut, Dmitri Shostakovich's Waltz No. 2 from the Suite for Variety Orchestra - which is better known as Jazz Suite No. 2 - has mysterious and lascivious qualities that call to mind circus or variety music. Sylvia Rosin and Irmhild Beutler have arranged this dramatic Russian performance piece for treble recorder and piano, thus adding another well-known classic to the instrumental literature available. Shostakovich's stirring Waltz No. 2 will be thoroughly enjoyed by players and audiences alike.

These pieces have for the most part been taken from collections compiled and arranged by Alfred Moffat for Violin and Piano. Originally composed during the periond when the Recorder was a favourite instrument in England it can be assumed that many of these pieces were actually composed for the instrument.

Five nursery tunes magically and subtly transformed by Trevor Hold who has long delighted in these disarmingly simple tunes. Among those used are: 'The Twelve Days of Christmas' 'Hush-A-Bye Baby' and a very lively 'O Dear what can the matter be?'
