Recorder for Beginners: An Easy Beginning Method
by Susan Lowenkron
 
Recorder for Beginners is designed as an independent study for learning the recorder. The author does not assume the student (or parent) has prior musical knowledge. This book presents each note-reading concept in a step-by-step manner and carefully explains basic recorder techniques. Before you start the lessons with your student, consider reading the “Introduction” and “History of the Recorder” on page 3 in the book.
