Summary of This Method
This method starts from a simple observation: the recorder is more popular than ever, and the alto recorder holds a special place in home practice. It is aimed at musicians who wish to go beyond simple reading and acquire true instrumental ease, in order to play with more comfort, stability, and musicality.
The core of the book is based on specific exercises intended to build the technique required by the repertoire from Bach to Mozart. Works by composers such as Bach, Handel, Telemann, or Mattheson indeed demand clear articulation, controlled breath management, solid intonation, and smooth finger coordination. This method precisely aims to familiarize you with these requirements by working on technical points in a structured way.
In practice, this workbook serves as an excellent tool to organize your sessions: warm-up, precision work, reinforcement of reflexes, and preparation for interpretation. It is suitable both for instrumentalists wishing to strengthen their fundamentals and for more advanced players seeking an effective tool to improve execution cleanliness and endurance before tackling more ambitious pieces from the Baroque and Classical recorder repertoire.
