Ready, Steady Recorder! guides children from the very beginning, from teaching them how to hold a recorder properly, to key symbols which are explained at the beginning and repeated throughout the book to encourage and aid learning.

Rhythms are clapped out, musical terms and symbols explained simply, ideas are there to help with learning, rewards are given for achievements, playing techniques are reinforced and games help bring fun, making this new book comprehensive yet enjoyable and easy to follow.

As well as the initial ‘how to hold’, full-colour fingering guides are present throughout showing children exactly where they need to place their fingers for certain notes. This great new book follows on from the success of Sarah’s Red Hot Recorder and, with more content, contains everything needed for young recorder players.
