Give your students or child a solid start on recorder with this classic method book. The LMI Recorder Method – Soprano Recorder Book 1 offers a complete, step-by-step introduction to reading music and playing soprano recorder. Lessons progress from first notes and rhythms to familiar tunes like “Jingle Bells” and folk melodies, with clear fingering diagrams, staff notation, and counting guidance.

This copy is pre-owned but in very nice shape:

• Cover shows light shelf/edge wear and a few small surface marks, typical of classroom use.

• Pages are clean and legible with no noticed writing or highlighting.

• Certificate of Achievement page is unused and intact, ready for a new student.

Perfect for elementary music teachers, homeschool families, and beginning players who want a structured, classroom-tested method rather than a generic song booklet.
