Ken covers the instrument's history and traditional repertoire; every aspect of technique, note by note; breath control and articulation problems; and makes a thorough study of performance considerations and practice habits. He also gives complete recommendations on selecting and caring for a new recorder.It is written in a relaxed, friendly style; very easy to follow and understand. This is THE book every recorder player should have, whether a novice just starting or an experienced player who wants to improve.The book's main shortcoming is its age. Written in 1982, a few details have become dated, particularly the list of recommended works to play. While the list is still valid, it could be longer with more recent works added. There have also been advances in recorder design and materials since 1982.I would also like to see discussion of applying the recorder to popular music of the twentieth century, but this is a personal beef I have with every recorder book. They all focus on the traditional Renaissance and Baroque music, with mention of modern works only in the classical genre.Another drawback is that the book's continued popularity has meant that used copies usually have an outrageous price. With patience, I eventually lucked onto a good condition hardcover for $15. Most listings tend to start around $25 for a softcover, up to well over a hundred for a fine hardcover.I understand that Mr. Wollitz is currently at work on a revised edition, that will hopefully be published within the next year. I look forward to it.EDIT, March 2012- I see that since I wrote this review, prices have come down quite a bit. Good for recorderists, if not the book sellers! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The ULTIMATE Recorder Resource book FOR EVERYONE - INSPIRING & INSTRUCTIVE - akin to being mentored by a Prof next to you *by A***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2011* I agree with all the 5-star ratings above without repeating what was stated. I have bought quite a few recorder books now and this IS the ULTIMATE RECORDER HANDBOOK for the SERIOUS STUDENT who desires to GO DEEPER or ADVANCE AS FAR AS ONE CAN. An ENLIVENING KNOWLEDGEBASE on the art of (recorder) music making.To read the book is like to have a very knowledgeable professor or gifted teacher next to you - inspiring and instructing everyone who wants to play more beautifully and skillfully. The author empathizes & affirms your learning experiences, travels with you along your journey, preempting pitfalls and imparting invaluable tips for mastery. From selecting a recorder to making it sing, from practicing more effectively to playing in ensembles and enriching your repertoire - this book is invaluable. Everything I need is in here. I love it.I am glad I found this book early in my return to the instrument after decades of abandon. Great guide for the beginner, intermediate or advanced.Well structured. Knowledgeable. Connects. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Read Directions Before Use *by N***I on Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2017* The Oster Toaster works like a charm. The customer that wrote about ruining her first slice of toast failed to read the directions. Before using the toaster, operate the toaster WITHOUT toast to burn off any oils or dust due to the manufacturing of the toaster. The toaster will smell while performing this function. I did it twice to make sure it had gotten rid of any oils, etc. Also in the directions, it mentioned that if toasting only 2 slices of bread you should put the bread in the middle of each opening. This should clear up some of the customer complaints. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/7890087-the-recorder-book-paperback-september-5-2000](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/7890087-the-recorder-book-paperback-september-5-2000) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
