Teaching-you Recorder Skills is the ultimate beginners CD-ROM for anyone who wants to learn to play the descant recorder. Starting from the basics of assembling your recorder through to and including all the knowledge required for Grade I, this program will teach you all you need to know in a clear and friendly way. As you progressively learn the key fingering positions and how to read music, you can play along to backing tracks or have a go at performing a solo.
Teaching-you Recorder Skills contains 100 inspiring and easy-to-follow lessons, with supporting video clips and MIDI file accompaniments to play along to.
Presented within a simple and clearly laid out interface, everything you need for one lesson is accessible off the main screen. Read about basic recorder techniques before watching a tutorial video, or print each lesson as a PDF to take away with you. You can also print out scores and sight-reading exercises to help develop your music theory and reading skills.
Practice your newly-learnt skills with real audio accompaniments. Speed up, slow down or mute other instruments, or select certain bars to loop, allowing you to practise tricky areas. Other features include a metronome facility for all MIDI tracks and a recording facility so that you can record yourself playing and review your progress – you can even write your tunes to a CD. On completion of Teaching-you Recorder Skills, you’ll have mastered all the practical skills needed for the Royal College of Music Grade I.
