AlfredSuzuki Recorder School (Alto Recorder) Recorder Part Volume 1
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Volume 1 of the Suzuki Recorder School, alto recorder part. For a student starting alto recorder with a teacher who uses the Suzuki approach.
Strong match
Who this is for
- A student beginning alto recorder with a Suzuki-trained teacher
- Households already working through Suzuki books on another instrument
- A soprano player moving over to alto fingering
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Soprano recorder players — the fingerings here are for alto
- Self-teachers wanting step-by-step written instruction instead of a teacher-led method
- Anyone needing the piano accompaniment; this is the recorder part
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Recorder Part
Just the player's line. The pianist's accompaniment is a separate book.
Detail 03
Volume 1
Opening volume of a numbered series. Later volumes pick up directly from here.
Detail 04
Suzuki approach
Learning leans on listening and repetition, so it assumes a teacher guiding the sequence.
Detail 05
$9.99
Low enough to replace easily, which matters for a book a child carries weekly.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Recorder not included; you need an alto instrument, not a soprano
- 02Piano accompaniment is a separate purchase if you want it
- 03Suzuki assumes a teacher — the book alone gets you partway
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this work with my soprano recorder?
No. It's written for alto recorder, which is pitched in F and uses different fingerings. Soprano players need the soprano edition.
02Does the book include piano accompaniment?
No. This is the recorder part. Accompaniment is published separately.
03Can my child use this without a teacher?
The Suzuki approach assumes a teacher guiding the sequence. It works as a home supplement but isn't a self-teaching course.
04Is an instrument included?
No. You get the printed book only. The alto recorder is bought separately.
