Review: I thought this book would be great for my 6 year old son, it is great to share a love of music with children. When I look at the picture on here, it appears to show a book with a real blue recorder on top, this is just an image of the recorder on the front cover, not a real one as I thought. Silly me! Anyway.....the book itself is very informative with lots of info on notes and scales, music symbols, breathing as well as how to hold, clean and look after recorder properly . A section near the back has a table of different brands of recorder and the material it is made from, listed from the cheapest at the top down to the most expensive at the bottom. Throughout the book there are little cartoon characters stating interesting facts and giving a few quiz questions, this really grabs the child's interest. There are many tunes to learn , with different rates of difficulty including...Hot cross buns, When the saints go marching in, , Can-Can , I Saw three ships, Morning has broken to name but a few. There are also Christmas carols to learn and some songs for the child to try out with a friend- What shall we do with a drunken sailor being one of them. Overall I think the book is fantastic, an excellent book for children New to playing an instrument. Everything's explained in an entertaining way and the cartoon characters really liven up the book

Review: I am teaching my daughter (7) the recorder and bought this book to help, along with another book. I found this one very user friendly, colourful and nicely laid out. Easy step by step guides, showing clear pictures for forming notes. Some good songs to learn with a few Christmas ones thrown in. I would recommend this book but get another alongside it.
