Review 5.0 out of 5 stars | Not only for children | By Judy Brighton | I bought this book as an introduction to recorder, but found it to be helpful as a general guid to basic music terminology and theory. Although it's written for children, it was perfect for an adult beginner. The explanations are always easy to follow and the amount of information given at each step is just right to maintain interest. A great little book. * * 5.0 out of 5 stars | An excellent introduction to the recorder and to music generally | By Bill Clinton | This really is an excellent book. It goes through easy to follow stages starting with which end to blow into and progressing gradually to some pretty advanced stuff. It's well written, interest gin, progresses at a steady pace, and is not only a good introduction to playing the recorder, but a good overall introduction to music. I've been playing guitar for forty years, but I still came across a few things I didn't know. Highly recommended. * * Read more About the Author Roger Cawkwell studied composition, piano, sax, flute and clarinet at the Royal Academy of Music, leaving in the early 1970s to go on to play with the John Dankworth Band and the London Sinfonietta.
