Red Hot Recorder Tutor comes as two books - one for the pupil which includes all the teaching material, and this one for the teacher which has the piano accompaniments. Red Hot Recorder Tutor is very much in my style of music-making and I will be thrilled if other teachers and their pupils find this book useful and enjoyable.
