Rounds for Recorders
Volume 1 - 4

Following on from the highly popular 'Rounds for Recorders' workshop sessions held in person and online, The Rounds for Recorders volumes are now available.

Rounds can be a useful tool for recorder players as warm up exercises, a simple resource for technical work, learning a new instrument or as performance pieces. Each Rounds for Recorders volume contains 20 rounds, ranging from short, simple pieces to more complex works. Each round is printed for soprano/tenor, alto and bass recorders. Researched to enhance player knowledge, these rounds provide musicians with plenty of fascinating material to both read and perform. Always interesting but reflecting past times, some of the rounds contained within are unsuitable for children.
