Large notes are used throughout and each melody is attractively illustrated. Clear and concise instructions introduce   technique and notation concepts gradually. These books use many Icelandic songs and folk songs, some of which may even date from the time of Leif Eriksson! This gives the method a unique flavor and allows the introduction of many unusual melodic and rhythmic   elements. The first book is based on the six easiest notes on the recorder and the accompaniment will help the student happily gain a firm rhythmic feeling, and above all, have fun while learning.

CD for the Windsongs Teachers Guide - E1234CD $9.58 incl. tax

This CD, containing all the pieces from the Windsongs Teachers Guide, was created to provide another stimulus for the development of recorder skills. It is not intended to be a substitute for live music-making.

The synthesized sounds chosen for the CD are at best an approximation of the sounds of the instrumentarium. In some instances, when a synthesized version was unavailable, a substitution has been made for the sounds of the instruments listed on the notated score.

The tempos on the CD are not slow, so playing along will require some facility with the melody.
