The best way to learn any instrument is to have lessons from a good experienced teacher. Although happily the number of such teachers is constantly growing the recorder is still frequently taught by enthusiastic but inexperienced teachers and many players start by teaching themselves.This series of books sets out to help learners of all ages in all three situations. Experienced teachers who may choose to disregard much of the text as personal demonstration is always clearer than the written word will find exercises and fine tunes a-plenty to support their own mathod at each stage. The less experienced willbenefit from many valuable teaching hints culled fromlong experience and may rely on the books to lead to a sound playing technique and a mastery of simple notation.Those learning by themseves - and I started in this way - are urged to work carefully and systematically through the books taking plenty of time to assimilate each point before moving on. For them without the personal model provided by a live teacher it is vitally important to listen as often as possible to fine players in person or on record so that they have in their mind's ear a clear notion of the kind of sound they would like to produce.But however they start I can only wish that all who use these books will derive as much pleasure and musical satisfaction and gain as many lasting and valued friendships as I have through this most subtle delightful and sociable of instruments. (Brian Bonsor)“...this work is likely to become a standart work very quickly and is to be recommended to all schools where recorder studies are undertaken“ (Oliver James Contact Magazine)These two tutors with accompanying teacher's books are for newcomers to the instrument who are beginning on the treble and so assume no previous knowledge either of the instrument or of musical notation.

From the preface: The aim of the publication of these four-handed piano compositions is to fill a void within the sphere of sight-reading(and almost sight-reading) at the beginner and intermediate level. These three volumes together contain 36 Nordic folk songs from Denmark Norway Sweden Finland and theFaroe Islands. The selection is based first and foremost on their being well suited to the instrumental expressivepossibilities of the piano and being good representatives of the rich and atmospheric Nordic musical heritage.When one practises sight-reading on one’s own it is tempting to stop as onegoes along because the desire to playthe correct notes is often given priority at the expense of the rhythm and expression.Music without an organic pulse will leave the player with an unsatisfactory feeling of stress and failure and thestream of thought will not form part of a natural flow. Good sight-reading training is therefore ensemble playing where the teacher supports the pulse and rhythm.In many other publications of four-handed duets the secundo part is written in two bass clefs and the primo part in twotreble clefs. Reading this untrained combination of clefs along with the stressful fact that the music has never beenseen nor heard before can confuse the pupil.In volumes 1 and 2 the secundo part which is intended for the pupil is therefore notated in a treble clef and bassclef as piano music for two hands is usually notated. In volume 3 the degree of difficulty is more varied but in mostof the pieces improvisation is an interposed element in the primo part being therefore a good challenge for the pupil.In the improvisatory sections a chord or a scale is notated. These can form the tonal starting point but here too thepupil is encouraged to experiment with for example the shift between major and minor thirds and between the high andlow sixth and seventh

Lent and Easter Cantatas-72 Solo Cantatas for Voice Melodic Instrument and Basso continuo.Lent & Easter - High Voice.When Telemann issued his first annual cycle of printed cantatas Der Harmonische Gottesdienst (Hamburg 1725-6) he was already one of the leading cantata composers of his time. Thanks to their brevity and their simple scoring the 72 solo cantatas have remained very popular to the present day.These editions (BA 5891 through to BA 5896) divide the annual cycle into cantatas for high voice and cantatas for medium voice.Each series spreads the works over threevolumes accompanied by separate parts for solo instrument and continuo. The cantatas follow the order of the liturgical year beginning with the Christmas season and continuing with Easter and Trinity.Being practically minded Telemann arranged the ambitus of the vocal parts so that the cantatas for medium voice are ‘also suitable for an ordinary alto or bass’.Similarly the solo instruments are suitable for Violin Oboe Recorder or Flute.Interesting solo cantatas for use in church services.Urtext from the Telemann Edition.Separate parts for instrument and continuo.
