About the Book

This book aims to help beginners play soprano recorder simply and easily. The book includes 46 brightly colored pictures with fingering positions for the soprano recorder, with pitch names and staff notations. The musical notes included are:

C C#/Db D D#/Eb E F F# G G#/Ab A A#/Bb B C D E F F# G

Low B has 2 alternate fingerings, which are the same for both Baroque and German recorders. Low F, Low F#, High F, and High F# have different fingering for Baroque and German recorders. These charts are suitable for both popular styles of a soprano recorder. Cut out the fingering charts and use them as a visual aid for you, your kids or your students.

The size of the cut-out is 6.5x10 inches (16x25 cm). This is an almost life-size recorder fingering chart and each note here has its own page in the book. You can post these cut-outs on the wall or use them as you like. One side of the poster shows the connection between the dots and their fingering, and the reverse side depicts the same fingering scheme shown on a pipe with numbered holes. Choose a style that makes it easier for you to learn.
