BTP001 Recorder Improvisation and Technique: Book One / by Isabel McNeill Carley A beginner’s primer and foundational guide to playing the soprano recorder. Eleven tightly integrated lessons introduce the student to the recorder repertoire and technique in short exercises that partner the teacher with the student. The emphasis is on a collaborative process that develops musical and technical skills by actually making music. From the beginning, there are songs for the student to play, improvisations to nurture the musical imagination, and ensemble materials to deliver the excitement of rhythmic layering and patterning. 63 pages This fourth edition teacher and student book retains the contents of the third edition with the addition of expanded reference and resource materials.
