Essential Elements for Recorder Student Book 1 | Classroom Method for Beginner Recorder Players | Includes 130 Songs, Music Reading and Fingering Chart | Hal Leonard Instructional Book Paperback – Student Edition, September 1, 2009

This book is great for someone who wants to learn to play the recorder. I had no idea where to start & this book was helpful!

Lessons were easy to learn and understand.

I bought this book and the recorder, thinking that playing a musical instrument would be fun. This book is great. It is intended for classroom instruction, I think. Easy to follow, each lesson builds on the prior one. The illustrations clearly indicate the note fingering on the recorder. Each lesson teaches how to read music and play the instrument. Each lesson has numerous short practice songs and timing exercises. I do believe I can learn to read music and play the recorder with this book. If you've never picked up the recorder and you want to learn, try this book.

I love the book. It’s so helpful for a beginner.

The media could not be loaded. We really really like this book.I am a homeschooler and I am teaching my child to play the recorder. She has been playing since she was 6 and now she is 8 and learning pretty fast. I needed the right book that will advance and challenge her recorder playing skills as well as make the learning fun and easy.This right here is the book. She has been learning to play different songs and has improved reading sheet music. I am very happy that we purchased this music book.I have no music background, but I have been able to use this book to help my child get better at playing the recorder.Please buy this book if you are a parent or music teacher. It is worth the price!

Este libro es lo q quería mi niño para la escuela está en cuarto grado

I was asked to be a long-term sub in music, the students couldn't wait to do recorders in class and well it had been years (25+) since I had played a recorder. I purchased the book so I could learn a long with the students. This also helped me with the students together. Since I was only in the class for 4 months many students didn't get the book so I projected my book on the smart board with our visualizer program and the students could follow along with me in class and it allowed me to help them learn as the book offers the ability to show what you know in it. If I go back to music next year I will recommend the book when purchasing recorders.

this is a nice hansen book as they all are.
