Playing the recorder is neither magic nor rocket science - or is it!? In Flötenzauber the little witch Valentina and her friend Chebby accompany the little musicians on their fascination journey through the world of music. The three-part method for descant recorder has been conceived for children older than pre-school age and can be used for private and group lessons alike, e.g. in early music education. Flötenzauber deliberately does without long explanatory texts, focusing instead on teaching the very basics playfully and with ease. All songs come with texts to make it easier for the children to learn new melodies and rhythms. Numerous tips provide teachers and parents with information on how to work with the method. Illustrations on all pages just beg to be coloured in and can be used to make working in the group more flexibly. Includes audio recordings for listening and playing along (MP3 package accessible via a code in the book). And there*s more magic to come in Vol. 3: New tones (up to a``) and the first accidentals are waiting to be discovered by the little magicians. The songs chosen are appropriate for children, covering songs from all over the world. Instrumentation: descant recorder
