Recorder Apprentice is a recorder method by Wendy Barden and Bruce Pearson. For classroom or independent study, students as young as third grade are introduced to music through five pitches, quarter and half note/rests, 4/quarter meter, and repeat signs. Filled with Renaissance dance melodies, rounds and a duet, improvisation and composition, reflection, and six challenge assessment lines, this new recorder method presents the perfect transition from general music classes to your performance classroom!
