Introducing the Recorder and Music Theory

Knowing the author's personality and passions can make his written words dance in eye beams, laughter and song. So it is with Edward Wolfe's new book, Introducing the Recorder and Music Theory.

As a middle school music teacher, I have had the opportunity to use this book with 7th graders. I have found it to be unique in my experience, balancing the learning of music theory to enable playing a musical instrument and learning to play a musical instrument to understand music theory.
