SoundStart for Recorder
by Brian Appleby
SoundStart for recorder is a collection of over 80 short tunes designed to provide beginning recorder students with stimulating practice material while gradually increasing their playing and reading skills. There are 27 tunes that can be played with just the three notes B, A and G.
New notes are then introduced one a time, with many songs at each level, until a range of nine notes, from low D to high E, has been covered.
Also included are fifteen Holiday Melodies which can be played using just the nine notes introduced in this method.
An important feature of SoundStart for Recorder is the play-along CD, which provides accompaniments in styles that students find exciting and motivational. The CD can be used for class playing, home practice, and performance.
The package includes a teacher's manual, a set of photocopyable student masters, and the CD.
