For many children, the recorder is their introduction to the world of music making. A descant/soprano recorder is a great beginners' instrument: robust, inexpensive and manageable for little fingers. Once the first few notes have been mastered, children can quickly learn tunes, then discover a whole new world of ensemble music with their class mates.
If your children are just starting, then Three Little Pieces on Five Notes: March, Song, Dance are fun, easy tunes for descant/soprano recorder that only use the most common left hand notes.
Once children are ready to play with others, Andrew Challinger's Suites are the perfect way to introduce young players to the joy of playing ensemble music. Brimful of imagination, and written specially for school children, these are great fun to learn and perform!
The First Suite is written for descant (soprano) and treble (alto) recorders. The Second Suite adds a piano accompaniment, while the Third Suite introduces parts for tenor and bass recorders. The Fourth Suite, in four movements – Butterflies, Dotty March, Gymnopédie and Hornpipe – is a fabulous piece for any resourceful young group.
