Synopsis

Live Recorder is a self-teaching musical literacy programme for COMPLETE BEGINNERS of all ages, specifically designed for ANYONE who wants to learn to read and play music! After years of road-testing in schools, the new and revised edition of this ground-breaking programme is now available, with UK schools able to access a 10% bulk discount on purchases of 15 or more copies of each of the three workbooks in the series. At the core of the Live Recorder programme are three audio CDs (ISBNs 978 0 951907436, 978 0 951907429 and 978 0 951907450) of sparkling original accompaniments which make even the simplest one-note tune sound amazing - please note that the CDs are sold separately - together with three 64-page workbooks (ISBNs 978 0 951907405, 978 0 951907412 and 978 0 951907443) which guide you step-by-step through the process of learning to read and play music. Schools using the series have found that each book and its accompanying CD take two or three terms to complete, based on one or two lessons per week, while adults and young people practising in their own time can make faster progress. Live Recorder is carefully paced, with lots of consolidation practice built in, but from your very FIRST session you'll be reading and playing music – and that's a promise! Live Recorder One teaches just five musical notes (only using the fingers on your left hand), but by the end of that workbook you'll be able to cope with lots of different time signatures, rhythm patterns and musical signs. Live Recorder Two builds on these foundations, using specially written songs and familiar tunes to add just three more notes, together with new rhythm patterns and lots of practice. The words of the songs are included. Live Recorder Three adds six new notes and introduces you to a wider range of music, including a selection of traditional and classical favourites. As in Live Recorder Two, the words of all the songs are included, so you get to practise your singing as well!
