Buy Enjoy the Recorder: Descant Tutor 1 by Bonsor, Brian (ISBN: 9780901938695) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: Brilliant Book - good balance of practice & theory - An excellent book with a good balance of pictures, instructions, practical work and music theory. Ideal for folks starting out on the recorder. The practices are particularly good. Very pleased with the detail in the book. Review: Raw beginner. - As I enter my 7th decade I thought I would learn something new after finding my daughter's old school recorder in a drawer. I cannot read music nor can I play any musical instrument at all. So it's all Greek to me, as they say. I managed to identify the old recorder as an Aulos 205 Descant which I understand is still made in large quantities for schools and serves well as a beginner instrument. I really wanted to find a recorder teacher locally but it was not to be. So I thought I would start with simple book in a self-help mode. Please bear in mind that this review is written by someone with no experience of playing music whatsoever! I was pleased to find that this book by Brian Bonsor was a great help in starting out. Learning to read the notes as well as play them was what I wanted. Pictures of the finger positions are most useful and his use of both the English note names ' Crotchet' and the equivalent American 'Quarter-note' are valuable. I now have a teacher who is an accomplished musician, but not a recorder player per se, so the 'fingering' tips given by Brian Bonsor pointing out snags and common faults with the finger positions are very useful for practice. I have tried to practice 30 minutes per day and have succeeded most days. I was told that frequent practice is more effective than playing for a long time once a week. This follows the old adage that 1 hour's tuition need 4 hours practice! I bought the copy of this book as a 'used' book so it's condition is not new, hence the 4 stars. I don't know what use my review will be, but as an absolute beginner I am well pleased so far as it has got me off to a good start. The book is 101 pages long with the different notes being gradually introduced as one progresses through the book with pieces to play to accommodate the new notes learnt.

Too childish for an adult learner.
Average leaner book but better for children than adults.

Das Buch ist auf Englisch und erklärt aus meiner Sicht sehr gut die einzelnen Schritte, um Flöte spielen zu lernen. Es wird gezeigt, wie und welche Finger die Löcher bedecken, damit eine bestimmte Note herauskommt. Rhythmus wird erklärt mit kleinen Übungen. Seit 3 Monaten übe ich täglich mit dem Buch und bin begeistert, wie die aufeinander abgestimmten Übungen und Musikstücke die Fingerfertigkeit in Schwung bringen. Manche Note war für mich eine Herausforderung, bis sie in "die Finger" kam. Ich war so verkrampft, aber ich bin dran geblieben und dann läuft es plötzlich flüssig. Dass Flötenspielen eine Kunst ist und es auch auf die Flöte mit der gespielt wird ankommt, habe ich nicht gewusst. A pro pos Flöte: Die Sopranflöte mit Barockgriff wird hier gelehrt. Ich habe mir schon den zweiten Band besorgt, damit mir das Material nicht ausgeht. :-)

Great method. I was afraid I would have to use a method geared for kids full of children's songs, so when I started researching methods for adults I was pleasingly surprised. This method starts with useful information presented in a very clear way. It introduces correct tonguing from the very beginning and the problems that are most frequent for beginners. The first exercises and melodies are pleasing and enjoyable and you start to play tunes fairly quickly. An older kid who doesn't need the gimmicks of ninja belts, etc will also find this method easy to follow and enjoyable.

So far seems like it's thorough and a good learning tool.

This is a very good beginner Soprano/Descant Recorder lesson book. It is very detailed in pictures where to place your fingers on the recorder to get the correct note or notes. It is very easy to follow and learn to play the recorder especially if you are using the Baroque fingering method with a recorder of the same method. It covers so at least a whole Octave of notes. I was also recommended to buy this book and I am very glad I did. Lots of pages, many songs, definitely worth it.
