Title: perfect book for a kid new to music
Review: I bought this for my son (7 years old) and I to learn the recorder together. This is a BEGINNER book, and when I say beginner I really mean it. Although I’d never played the recorder before, I used to play trumpet and I blew through this thing faster than you can say “soprano.” That said, for my son, it’s been absolutely great. The pacing is perfect for the typical total beginner, maybe a little fast for my 7 year old son who had zero musical experience. It never gets complicated and I think it only goes up to D and I think only one sharp and one flat if I recall correctly. It does a good job of introducing new concepts and musical markings. You literally don’t need to know ANYTHING about music and you will do fine with this book. The song selection is very good and all the pieces are very short. For an adult they might get boring, but for a child the short song lengths are great because your kid won’t get bored. There are a good number of duets you can play with your child as well which always sparks excitement for my son.Again, this is best for someone with no musical experience or is a child. If you have any experience playing a music instrument, you’ll plow through this book pretty quickly and I’d recommend a book with a faster pace for the first octave and more in-depth songs. But if you have a kid you just bought a recorder for, this book is PERFECT.

Title: Well Done Recorder Book, Better for Middle School and Above
Review: Ah, the hill I died on. I ended up homeschooling our daughter for slightly less then 8 months of her 3rd grade school year. I wanted to maintain a music curriculum. They had started with recorder that year in the school we pulled her from, but I have had limited experience with it. I gave her the choice of continuing with Soprano recorder or I could start working with her on piano, which I do know how to play. I was seriously hoping she'd pick piano...but she said she wanted to stick with recorder if I wasn't going to teach her guitar. Which isn't an instrument I play and definitely didn't have time to figure out with everything else we had going on, so I told she was out of luck on that one and recorder it was.So I bought this book because it is solidly reviewed. Having gone through the entire thing myself to brush up and improve upon my own recorder skills when she decided that was what she wanted to go with, I can say I think it does a great job of teaching the basics for recorder and the treble clef. Since I already read music, I didn't really need that part of it, but it allows me to evaluate the quality better. I also tried to use this to support my daughter in learning recorder...but it just. wasn't. guitar. About a third of the way through the book I said "to heck with it!" It isn't something they are going to test her on upon admission to her new school in the fall, it isn't required learning under the standardized testing, and it just wasn't worth the battle. It's the only curriculum area I failed to complete with her.I think for her, she may have found the book more engaging if it had cutesy pictures in it, or some of her favorite Disney songs. So younger children may be less motivated by the lack of illustrations and the song choices, and this may not be the best support for them. But I think for any kiddo middle school or up (where there is the discipline of mind to put up with song choices that aren't their favorites and who might view cutesy illustrations as not what they need), this is very well done and will adequately teach them what they need to know to get started.

Title: Easy to use
Review: I wanted this book sooner so I went to Sam Ash music store instead of ordering from Amazon. Well they didn't keep it in stock so I had to have them order it anyway and I paid a few dollars more than if I had ordered through Amazon. Not a big deal as we have to keep local stores in business too. I took recorder lessons (and used this book) for about 3 months (Summer 2016) before switching to the flute. However, since the pictures and the music charts in this book are clearer, I find that I still use it when practicing songs for the flute. I know the fingering is different between the 2 instruments. Since I have only had 8 flute lessons, I just find this one easier to use than my actual flute book. Eventually I will feel comfortable enough to use the flute book, I hope. This book is very good for beginners whether you are taking recorder lessons or teaching yourself.

Title: Excellent and Easy--With Early Results
Review: I took recorder lessons in first and second grade, and wanted to offer my kids a similar intro to music experience. (I later studied flute, cornet, piano, and guitar--and feel early exposure was key.) We can't afford violin or piano right now, and the schools don't offer much...so I decided to seek out recorders. I found these great Yamaha YRS24B Soprano Recorders on Amazon and chose this book to go with them. It's a great book for young kids (8, 6, and 4)--as well as adults. I usually go through the lesson myself alone...and then work with the kids on it. They'll be playing recognizable songs by the third lesson! I'm so happy with my purchase. For under 25 bucks, I have a beginning music program.I also highly recommend Beethoven's Wig: Sing Along Symphonies and Story of the Orchestra : Listen While You Learn About the Instruments, the Music and the Composers Who Wrote the Music! for an early introduction to music for kids. Classical Baby 3-Pack - Music, Art & Dance is wonderful too!

Title: Great Book for Fun Learning
Review: I used this book to teach my daughter to play recorder. It was a fun experience full of progress with every new song or exercise. After completing every song I'm proud to call her a real recorder player! She started a bit shy, not believing much on herself, but now she is asking for more advanced stuff! It was great to start with this book!

Review: It’s easy to know which holes to cover from the way they introduce new notes. I like this book and am glad I bought it. If you can’t understand music staffs, learning to read that will need to occur relatively quickly since the notes in musical notation are not labelled past when the notes are introduced. I like this book and it has quite a few duets for teachers to play with students. I’d say this book is for a soprano recorder.

Review: This book is really useful for beginners to wind instruments. A little bit musical theory knowledge is required. Very well paced

Review: I bought this book (kindle version) so I could learn to play the recorder someone gave my daughter as a gift. I went from absolute zero to playing simple songs with the help of this book alone.I had some previous -although very basic- knowledge of rhythm and musical notation which made it easier for me to move fast through the lessons. I don't know how useful this book would be to an absolute music-beginner, but if you have some precarious notion the book will definitely help you get started with this instrument.Another thing that's worth noting is the approach: as soon as you learned the first three notes you begin to play nice melodies; which is a powerful motivation booster.

Review: Lovely book, I never had the chance to learn how to play an instrument and I am happy to say that now I can somewhat play the recorder and even read music! Good introductory book for beginners!
