ENJOY THE RECORDER, Descant Tutor, Book 1/ A comprehensive method
for group, individual and self-learning. "The best way to learn any instrument is
to have lessons from a good, experienced teacher… This series of books sets out to
help learners of all ages in all three situations… Experienced teachers…will
find exercises and fine tunes a-plenty to support their own method at each stage. The less
experienced will benefit from many valuable teaching hints culled from long experience and
may rely on the books to lead to a sound playing technique and a mastery of simple
notation… 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 The book
has excellent diagrams of fingers, hands, sitting position and the recorder itself. From Making
the First Sound on, there is much helpful writing from the teacher. Notes
introduced in Bk. 1 are: B,A,G,C', D',E,D,F#,E',C#',C,F,Bb. A great deal of time is given
