Hal LeonardRecorder Fun - Teach Yourself The Easy Way (Book/Audio Online)
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
An inexpensive self-teaching recorder book with online audio, for a first-time player or a parent handling a school recorder unit.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Parents helping a child through a school recorder requirement
- Adults trying the instrument without paying for lessons
- Learning alone, using the audio to hear each exercise
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who already read music and want repertoire
- Anyone who needs a recorder — the instrument is separate
- Students who want a graded, teacher-led curriculum
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
Online audio
You hear how each exercise should sound. Needs a connection wherever you practice, but no disc drive.
Detail 03
$8.99
Cheap enough that abandoning the instrument after two weeks costs almost nothing.
Detail 04
Book, not a bundle
This is print and audio access. Nothing to play it on comes in the box.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No recorder included; buy the instrument separately
- 02Audio is online, so you need a connection where you practice
- 03Recorders use baroque or german fingering — confirm yours matches the book
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does a recorder come with it?
No. You get the book and access to the online audio. The instrument is bought separately.
02Do I need to read music already?
No. It is written to teach yourself from the start.
03Do I need a CD player?
No. The audio is online, so a phone, tablet, or computer is all you need.
04Is this for children or adults?
It is written for teaching yourself from scratch, which suits either. A younger child will want an adult to set up the online audio.
