Advanced Recorder Technique: The Art of Playing the Reco rder (Schott) volume 1

Very detailed instructions to complex techniques. I'm very much enjoying tackling the various skills during my practice. I'm learning on my own so it's important to me to have clear instructions when I learn a new technique.

I needed a new techniques book and this has excellent information and exercises.

Gudrun writes in a clear no- nonsense style giving tips, explanations and exercises for the advanced Recorder player to increase his or her skill and knowledge. The book is a classic and will never date.

Notes on some pages small print. I had to return the book.

This book is helpful to an extent, mainly for scales in all keys. However, some of the technique is not explained well at all, for instance, the finger vibrato. I give it 3 stars for this reason. Would I order this book again? Probably not.

This book is very detailed and filled with scales and explanation of technique. However, beware, it is written in the Key of 'F' so if you have learned on a recorder in the Key of 'C' which most basic recorders are keyed to, this book will probably not be for you. If you are accustomed to playing an 'F' recorder, than this book is certainly a very well written and helpful book.

Excellent book for advanced (or advancing) alto recorder players focusing on finger and tongue technique. Easy to read and put into practice and would be good for recorder teachers also.

This is a book filled with every kind of practise for recorder (alto). Scales, arpeggios, broken chords, trills etc etc. Excellent book aimed at perfection fingering and precision when it comes to articulation

Very useful book, I have already improved my technique. Thank you.

This study book is ideal for established players, - advanced students and adults, - who want to strip-down their technique to review the basics.

L'esposizione graduale delle difficoltà ed i suggerimenti per superarle sono di grande aiuto sia per il didatta sia per l'allievo. Chiaro, puntuale e sufficientemente esaustivo il panorama considerato.

Helpful and useful, but didn't give the very fingerings, which I was looking for. I would still recommend it.
