Because students generally begin playing the treble recorder only after several years' study of the descant recorder, Treble Recorder ABC is not intended for beginners but presupposes a basic knowledge of musical concepts and instrumental technique. Laszlo Czidra (1940-2000), the Hungarian recorder player and teacher known all over the world, set three main educational objectives in compiling the volume: to enable students to acquire the transposing manner of reading of the instrument tuned to F; to give a systematic technical foundation; and to make the students acquainted, at least on the level of skills, with the ornamentation and variation practice of the Renaissance and the Baroque, two eras providing the majority of the repertory for the instrument.

...this work is likely to become a standard work very quickly and is to be recommended to all schools where recorder studies are undertaken (Oliver James,Contact Magazine) A novel and comprehensive approach to transferring from the C to F instrument. 430 music examples include folk and national songs (some in two parts), country dance tunes and excerpts from the standard treble repertoire of Bach, Barsanti, Corelli, Handel, Telemann, etc. An outstanding feature of the book has proved to be Brian Bonsor's brilliantly simple but highly effective practice circles and recognition squares designed to give, in only a few minutes, concentrated practice on the more usual leaps to and from each new note and instant recognition of random notes. Quickly emulating the outstanding success of the descant tutors, these books are very popular even with those who normally use tutors other than the Enjoy the Recorder series.

This second volume of the descant (soprano) recorder tutor 'Magic Tones' sees the range of notes extended up to g'', the first chromatic (altered) notes (f sharp, b flat and c sharp) introduced and a closer look taken at music theory. In addition to the range of notes being extended and fresh musical objectives presented, a large selection of traditional and new songs and pieces are provided so that the children can practise and repeat what they have learnt until they have mastered it. The CDs included provide additional material for this book. The audio CD contains the songs in a sung and instrumental version for the most part, with different ensembles and in a variety of styles. The children can listen to them but they can also sing, play, drum and dance to them or simply look at the particular pages in the book. The playalong CD contains a version without singing. The children can play along to the melody, however, which can be heard in the background for orientation purposes.

Where in volume 1 the notes in the octave c1 * d2 were carefully introduced and consolidated, volume 2 expands the range of notes to include c3 and gradually introduces chromatic notes. Rhythmic knowledge is extended (semiquavers, dotted crotchets) and different playing styles are practised (legato, staccato, portato). Lots of songs from all over the world, together with increasing numbers of original pieces, provide varied and colourful teaching repertoire. The teacher's book deals with the prerequisites for starting lessons (buying and caring for an instrument, the principles of teaching) and gives plenty of practical tips for lessons and suggestions for introducing each piece. Following on from volume 2, the publishers now present a tutor book for treble [alto] recorder that continues to feature the descant [soprano] recorder too (ED 8641/ED 8642).
