Hildegard Theisen

The second volume is dedicated to learning to play in two parts. In the first part, children between the ages of five and eight gain confidence in dealing with time, rhythm and reading and writing notes through the playful development of the c‘-d’' range. On this basis, the 2nd part introduces polyphonic playing, extends the range further and offers the opportunity to familiarise themselves with different articulation possibilities, time signatures and keys. The child-friendly large notes of the first part gradually change into smaller and smaller notes until the usual proportions are finally reached. After completing both volumes, the young recorder player will have skills and knowledge that can be regarded as a versatile basis for further development.

A soprano flute school for the youngest children Time and again, the search for child-orientated school works determines everyday pedagogical life. With this in mind, Hildegard Theisen offers young recorder students and their teachers a valuable workbook. Differentiated tasks and the inclusion of the desire to draw and illustrate, which is as typical as it is important for the development of the child, provide the young student with interesting stimulation and motivation. The very large staves on the first pages and the indispensable and valuable duet game are also tailored to the young child. In the appendix, the teacher will find additional working material for specific problem situations in the classroom.

The flute bird accompanies the flautists in this playbook not only during the Advent and Christmas season. The familiar and new winter songs can also be played after the holidays. The two-part pieces are organised according to the level of difficulty within the thematic structure. Inserted chord symbols allow the pieces to be played together with a harmony instrument (guitar, piano).
