A “crossover” book for soprano players learning alto recorder.

This book is very good for its stated purpose: “At the heart of this method lies a seamless crossover to alto recorder whilst maintaining and developing the student’s soprano recorder playing.” In other words, this a method for established soprano players. Would-be players of the alto recorder with little or no experience of the soprano will probably find that this book does not speak to them directly. That being said, adults coming to the alto recorder with playing experience of the soprano shouldn’t be put off by this book being aimed at children. The method is good, clear and motivating for learners of any age. For its “target audience” this is an excellent book.
