Recorder Monster, Teacher Book w/CD

Bring out your students’ inner Recorder Monster with this cleverly written recorder method by Mari Schay. The Recorder Monster method uses familiar tunes with silly lyrics that have a huge appeal to beginning recorder students. The teacher book begins each unit with a monster-narrated lesson and a "monster mantra" that reinforces the main skill emphasized in the unit. Warm-up exercises provide engaging activities to strengthen freshly learned notes and rhythms, and recorder repertoire based on traditional songs with silly monster lyrics increases student enjoyment. The teacher book contains printable versions of posters, monster trading cards, student pages, and visual aids . Pre-printed poster packs, trading cards, student books, and an interactive software package are available separately.
