This recorder method combines the latest research in Gordon's Music Learning Theory in a revised book that is more practical and easier to use. This version includes the best elements of the original method and ensemble book together in one volume. While this series maintains its unique approach of teaching all songs by ear before learning notation, the revision does contain music notation and ensemble arrangements of every song. Students will learn new concepts by making musical comparisons such as learning the difference between connected and separated styles of articulation, duple and triple meter, and major versus minor songs. All the songs and activities are carefully sequenced based on the latest information we have on how children learn music, developed and fine-tuned over many years.
