“Wonderful material! My boys are loving this as a part of our homeschool this year (K & 2nd). I am very pleased with the value. They love following along to the video and audio to practice after I introduce the lesson via the course. I think it will really help them to learn to read music too, it's great!”
“We love these courses. We've been using them for flute sight reading. But it's obvious from looking at it, that this is a fabulous recorder method course. I totally recommend this to anyone wishing to learn recorder. I've seen quite a few recorder books in my life, and this is by far the best!”
“Hello, first I would like to say that I really enjoy Muzician. I bought my daughter a recorder a while ago and it came with a music book, but it was so confusing that she quickly lost interest. Then I came across your site and tried the Recorder for Kids 1 course. She was skeptical at first but after the first lesson, she was hooked! After two weeks she is actually playing her recorder!”
