Recorder From The Beginning: Pupil's Book 1 (2004 Edition) is the full-colour revised edition of John Pitts' best-selling recorder course. The eight extra pages in Book 1 have allowed for some new tunes and rounds, whilst retaining the well-known favourites that have helped to make the scheme such an enduring success. This is the book we all learned from as children and is still, successfully, teaching today's youth how to play the Recorder.
Baroque & Folk Tunes For The Recorder is an unusual collection, containing over fifty pieces drawn from over 300 years of music. The selection contained in this book offer the player a sizeable scope of musical moods from lively, catchy pieces that are fun to rip through to those that are just beautifully melodic. It gathers together melodies originally written for violin or oboe, sung by trained singers and common people alike, Baroque and rag tunes, old and new tunes. Experience the joy of making them come alive again!
