The book and cd can be used as a great intro to the recorder. It is packed with practice, songs, and quizzes. I do not understand, though, why the cd only comes with the music to accompany lessons 1 - 57 when there are over 120 lessons. Once students learn the first four notes, there is no more music to accompany their playing - lessons then are not as fun or engaging without the music. I would even purchase a second cd to accompany the rest if it were offered!
A great way to learn recorder for either future instruments (woodwinds) or the recorder itself. Many great international tunes for an sturdy introduction to the instrument.
Book would be amazing but it has a giant crease /fold on the back cover. It apparently was damaged prior to being packaged.It's for my daughter and I teach my kids to take care of their things and this is already ruined before she can take ownership.I wish I could easily get new one and return.
Came on time, good quality
