ABRSM Time Pieces for Treble/Alto Recorder - Volume 2 (Grades 4 & 5)

Description

"All four of these volumes include wonderful selections, representative of many historical eras and many different genres within each era ... These books become especially valuable as they contain music representing styles that are often not included in the education of young recorder students ... Considered as a whole, this series really hit home with me, since music students on any instrument at any level of instruction should be developing a knowledge of stylistic distinctions of the various musical eras." -- Sue Groskreutz, for American Recorder (January 2009)
