Well organized, adult beginner method book. After some diligent online research, Sweet Pipes was the best choice for me. I have a strong music background so I wasn’t interested in any of the basic music instruction. This moves at a good clip with helpful technical exercises and enjoyable pieces. The fingering chart, introduction and commentary accompanying the pieces is worth the price of the book.

Overall, these are excellent introduction and theory instructions. Play each lesson fluently before moving to the next, and you will have a quick grasp without doing just drills and scales.Only REALLY BIG complaint is that the introduction to alternate fingerings doesn't come until well into Book Two - after you've already slaved through & probably imprinted difficult fingering in Book One and half of Book Two.

I am a recorder soloist and have a friend who is a musician that wishes to learn to play recorder. She had a method book I did not care for so told her i would get a better one for her. I ordered this to have a look. I played through it and was impressed. I like the examples used. Renaissance and early Baroque pieces that the consort player would recognize. It is like a primer for consort playing. In other methods, folk and children songs with parts of baroque sonatas are thrown in which can be daunting. I like this method and so does she. It's almost a shame that I learned way before this was written. I will use It to teach other musicians and maybe even those who are not.

Great continuation of book one. This book is more advanced, so the music is more challenging. No complaints from me.

This is an excellent book as long as you already read music or are working with a music teacher. I purchased this for a child who already plays other instruments and had learned to play the recorder at school. This book was perfect for her since she already had a strong music background and was looking for more challenging recorder music.

As advertised, this book is ideal for the adult beginner who is already familiar with music. The units progress very logically for gradual mastery, and the songs are all lovely pieces from the centuries when the recorder was in its heyday.
