Progressive Recorder Method for Young Beginners, in three books, has been designed to introduce the younger student to the basics of recorder playing and reading music. To maximize the student’s enjoyment and interest, the Progressive Young Beginner Series incorporates an extensive repertoire of well-known children’s songs. All the songs have been carefully graded into an easy-to-follow, lesson-by-lesson format, which assumes no prior knowledge of music or the recorder by the student. Chord symbols for guitar and piano accompaniment are provided for each song.
Book 2 contains very easy arrangements covering a range of one octave. It introduces the student to eighth notes, the sharp sign, the tie, the slur, the dotted quarter note and the first and second time bars. New pieces of information are highlighted by boxes, and illustrations are used throughout to stimulate and maintain the student’s interest.
