This recorder course by John Pitts is written for 7-11 year olds - no previous knowledge of music or recorders is necessary. It is carefully graded with clear explanations at every stage, enouraging children to develop musical skils as well as recorder techniques. Book 2 covers five new notes and introduces some more complicated rhythms through a wealth of tunes. The full-color revised edition has 13 new items as well as new optional duets.
