Songs for Kids (Book & Recorder) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this for my 8 year old daughter.It was great for the first few pages, then it just got extremely hard, and she put it down.Playing the recorder was one of the things she most looked forward to in her homeschooling this year, and this book was a huge let down.

One of the biggest problems was that the second song in it, "Aura Lee," was totally unfamiliar to us.It is tough for a kid, just learning how to make music, to try and play something when she doesn't know if she is playing correctly because she's never heard it!In addition, you really can't advance until you have mastered Aura Lee!

If she could get past this, it might be good, but since she never will, I can not give it a good rating.

Playing the Recorder - Alto (Recorder Method) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a good method book for the Alto recorder. It has a large assortment of music from many periods and teaches some of the fundamentals of music theory well. My only gripe was that even in the beginning most of the music was unfamiliar, which made it harder for me to learn to read music. Also, the fingering guide is interspersed throughout the book and there is no one chart to which I could refer. I suppose that it is easy enough to print a chart out on the internet, but including a fingering chart would have been nice.

Recorder Fun! Teach Yourself the Easy Way! Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book quickly gets the reader to play simple but imprssive enough music to get this person confident in one's abilities and interested enough to continue.
It also does a good job in easing a beginner into reading basic musical notation by starting with a more simply and intuitive version of it.
My only complaint is that the difficulty of the exersize passages picks up very sharply about half way through with no excersizes suggested that will get one's skill up to par. Playing earlier passages over and over simply does not do it. As a result, I had to look for the excersize information elsewhere.
