Recorder Improvisation and Technique Book Two
Reviewers Rave
"Book Two builds directly on skills introduced in Book One, also introducing the alto recorder and F fingerings. On both soprano and alto recorder, 13 lessons review pentatonic keys, then explore the diatonic modes, and finally briefly introduce improvisation over chord changes." ~Leslie Timmons in American Recorder, the magazine of the American Recorder Society
"Clear, well developed teaching activities beautifully set out in a way that makes them accessible to both experienced and inexperienced teachers….It is very clear that [Carley] is a master teacher."~ Kim Kendrick in Ostinato, the National Journal of Orff Canada
“Your recorder books are excellent ... completely in the spirit of the Schulwerk.”~ Gunild Keetman, co-creator with Carl Orff of the Orff Schulwerk
What's Inside?
"Book Two continues [masterfully], introducing the alto recorder. This is an excellent resource for experienced teachers of the upper grades, 6, 7 and 8.
- The repertoire continues with folk music, largely English language, and also brings in a fine selection of composed music written for recorders.
- Part l of Book Two begins by reviewing the familiar pentatonic scales, but introducing the F fingerings of the alto recorder.
- Parts ll, lll, and lV deal with hexatonic, and diatonic scales, then we move on to shifting chords and paraphony.
- There are plenty of lovely ideas for student improvisation, and the emphasis on doing first, then applying literacy, is still evident.
- Students are encouraged to move back and forth between soprano and alto fingerings, at their own pace, of course.
- They are also challenged to build a repertoire of songs, in both fingerings, that they can play by memory.
- Integration of two or more other Orff media is included in every lesson.
~Kim Kendrick in Ostinato the National Journal of Orff Canada
