Great for a newbe with no previous musical education

This book quickly gets the reader to play simple but imprssive enough music to get this person confident in one's abilities and interested enough to continue.
It also does a good job in easing a beginner into reading basic musical notation by starting with a more simply and intuitive version of it.
My only complaint is that the difficulty of the exersize passages picks up very sharply about half way through with no excersizes suggested that will get one's skill up to par. Playing earlier passages over and over simply does not do it. As a result, I had to look for the excersize information elsewhere.

Fantastic aid for learning to play the soprano/tenor recorders

"Recorder Fun" contains an excellent choice of songs. The CD is of very good quality and fun to play along with. I used this book and CD to teach 2 of my grandchildren to play the recorder. They finished the book and we gave a final concert for our extended family! These resources teach you a lot about the language of music as well as how to play the recorder. I just wish they would publish one like it for alto/bass recorders.

music to play along to

This is a great book of songs and tunes. Right from the start it has a CD you can play along with, so even when you are only playing one note, you have some good background music to accompany you. This is a great motivator for 5-6 year old children.

Great way to begin, for kids or musically challenged adults

A really easy introduction to playing songs that sound good right from the start. Painless way to learn to read music. The accompanying CD works well with separable recorder and accompaniment.

Very Well Done

This is a great book for the beginning player. I haven't played music for many years, and have never been able to sight read music. This book has helped me a lot in learning to read. The CD is also a great help to those who play by ear.
