The recorder is fortunate in having one of the richest and most varied repertoires of any instrument, ranging over the medieval, renaissance, baroque and contemporary periods. From this wealth of available material Steve Rosenberg has chosen a collection of pieces which will introduce the beginner to the world of genuine recorder music from the start. Even with limited technique he or she will be able to take part in group music making from the earliest stages.
