Description
What is Rocket Recorders?
This the third book in a fun, graduated system to inspire students to learn the descant/soprano recorder at their own pace. If desired, a positive reinforcement incentive scheme can easily be created to work with this program.
About the Series and What is New in Book 3?
There are four books in this series, each adding more notes and challenges for the students. After finishing Book 2, they should have the basic skills in recorder playing and know the notes G, A, B, C and D, Low E, F and F#.
This book adds the low D, G# Bb and C#.
Things are a little different this time
As more notes are now available, it's become possible to use music that has a little more meat to it. So Book 3 has added backing tracks (with and without the recorder) and an easy piano part, to enable performance at school concerts etc.

Does each child need a copy?
Buying this publication allows you photocopy enough booklets for your own class. This is why we made this such a small book; each version is just 4 double-sided sheets of Letter or A4 paper.
Does each teacher need to buy a copy?
The short answer is... "Yes".
We feel we have made the book affordable for all schools and would ask that you respect the time and work that's gone into this publication and purchase any additional copies.
We hope you enjoy using this resource.
All the best
