This book is for alto recorder (or sopranino recorder, or bass recorder reading treble clef.).

This classic method, written in the 1954 by Maria Trapp and the Trapp Family of "The Sound of Music" fame, is a very convenient, fast-moving, all-in-one introduction to the recorder, perfect for the adult beginner or for younger students with some musical experience. The player progresses from beginner to upper intermediate level throughout the book, which covers a full 2-octave chromatic range and includes technical exercises, solo tunes from folk songs to Baroque pieces, many duets, and several trios and quartets involving SATB recorders.
