For International Customers

Due to very expensive shipping options for international customers wanting beginning soprano recorder instruction, I am making the Quick Nine-Note Method available as a PDF. This will be a trial; if I determine that people are sharing the files with others, then I will withdraw the offer. You are entitled to print one copy of this book with your purchase. Additional copies may be purchased.

Price for PDF for international customers $10
Not available for US customers.
PDF will be sent manually; one printing allowed per purchase.
Due to time zone differences, this may seem delayed but your order will be filled within 24 hours.

"This is certainly the most student-friendly recorder tutor I have come across... An excellent resource for classroom teachers... Definitely recommended." ~Geoffrey Allen, American Recorder Society review

"The most outstanding feature...is the repertoire...full of a variety of engaging tunes that children will enjoy...provides ensemble playing, frequently lacking in other methods."
~Dr. Susan Bruenger, University of Texas

"Students tell me that they are well ahead of some other kids in middle school when it comes to reading music. The Nine-Note Recorder Method really helped them with their music reading skills." ~Christine O'Neill, VA

"The students are thrilled with their recorder music books! They are taking their recorders home excitedly to practice.... Thank you so much for the way you've so thoughtfully put together your book!" ~Lisa Fenderson, CA

"I am extremely impressed. The teaching techniques, songs, and publication format are very good." ~Dr. Baldridge, music professor

"...how wonderful it is to have something to use with my kids that makes sense and doesn't throw so much stuff at them all at once. After three failed attempts to teach recorder to my sons, I have finally found something that works."
~Debra Brinkman

All method books come with a free exercise booklet. Here is one customer's comments:

"The exercises are awesome. I broke through a learning block with them. Thanks to the use of the included additional exercises for alto recorder, my finger dexterity has greatly improved, and much of what I call “stuttering” has gone away on my left hand. I have a tendency to speed through the several pieces in the method book (I already know how to pay this note...).The exercises are important because they help me to discover and eliminate my hubris, and the flaws or lessons, as I like to call them. This new-found knowledge improves my experience when I successively review the method book. So for me the exercises and the method book are integral. They help me get to the next level."
