The Windsongs Series, Book 4 I'se the B'y
From The Windsongs Series, a progressive method for soprano recorder for individual or classroom instruction. "I'se the B'y"is the fourth in a sequential series of six books leading from the first steps in recorder playing to musical literacy and the beginning of consort playing. Each book in the series serves as a workbook, as there are tasks and exercises for the children to complete.
Each book also builds upon the last, adding the notes in a logical sequence. The series uses sol-fa syllables and rhythm syllables (ta, ti ti, etc.) and leads to reading staff notation. Each book includes a combination of both English and French songs which draw on the rich heritage of Canadian folk songs.
For ages 6 to 12.
Range of notes: B, A, G, E, D, C, high C, high D; adds high E, F, F#.
