Start your musical journey with Ready, Steady, Recorder! by Sarah Watts, the bright and brilliant recorder tutor for young beginners. This colourful pupil book makes learning to play the recorder an absolute joy, guiding early starters from the moment they first pick up the instrument.
This book is packed with fun, humour, and engaging activities. Author and music educator Sarah Watts introduces notes gradually, building a solid foundation in musical literacy and good technique. Pupils will love the short, jazzy pieces, many of which come with funny words and actions that bring the music to life - all supported by downloadable backing tracks, available in the Resources section.
Confidence builds with every note, especially when pupils get to perform the "Take a Bow Fanfare" to celebrate their progress . With rhythm games, simple explanations, and chances to play by ear, this book is a comprehensive and fun-filled introduction to the world of music.
To get the most out of this Student Book, a separate Ready, Steady, Recorder! - Teacher Edition is also available. While this Student Edition contains all the recorder music and learning activities, the Teacher Book provides the complete, jazzy piano accompaniments for every song. This allows a teacher or piano-playing parent to play along, transforming lessons into exciting performances and helping the student master rhythm, timing, and the joy of playing with others. And the best news of all is that the teacher doesn't have to be a recorder player or a musician - just one step ahead of the children!
