The Soprano Recorder Method is designed to accompany those who have a musical tutor and the self-taught. Here you will intuitively learn to read melodies by listening to all the musical examples in the eBook or complementary videos. Classic and Latin American popular melodies have been chosen, selected for the didactic nature of their material in playing the recorder.
The soprano recorder has the potential to develop as a very versatile and expressive instrument, adaptable to any context. For this reason, this book tries to encourage its study and dissemination.
We start with basic theoretical concepts. Then follow some preparatory reading exercises. In the melodies section, you will find the initial levels for the first melodies, the basic level for easy melodies, and intermediate and advanced levels to encourage the study of the instrument progressively up to the greatest difficulty.
In the beginning, we show you the fingerings for the recorder with German tuning, which are easier positions. But as you advance you must change to baroque fingering, which is more in tune. At the end of the book, we include a position table for both German and Baroque fingerings.
