AlfredYamaha Recorder Student Book
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A beginner recorder method for under nine dollars. For a student starting recorder in school or at home who needs a first book to work through.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Elementary students starting recorder in a school music class
- Parents who need one cheap first book at home
- Adult beginners learning recorder with no reading background
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players past year one who want repertoire, not fundamentals
- Anyone who still needs a recorder — the instrument is separate
- Teachers looking for lesson plans rather than a student book
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
Beginner level
Starts from first notes, so it assumes no prior reading or instrument experience.
Detail 03
Yamaha branded
Paired with Yamaha recorders, but recorder fingering is standard, so another brand's recorder works fine.
Detail 04
$8.99
Cheap enough to buy one per child, or a spare, without thinking about it.
Detail 05
Print book
Paper, so it lives on a stand and takes pencil marks for fingerings and reminders.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01The recorder itself is a separate purchase
- 02Check your school's assigned book — classes usually standardize on one
- 03One copy per student; shared books get marked up by the wrong hands
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does it come with a recorder?
No. Book only. You'll need a recorder, and school programs usually specify which one.
02Do I need a Yamaha recorder to use it?
No. Fingerings are the same across brands, so any recorder in the right size works.
03Is this for a complete beginner?
Yes. It starts at zero — first notes and basic reading — rather than assuming prior lessons.
04Can an adult use it?
Yes. Teaching from zero is what an adult beginner needs, and the pace doesn't depend on age.
