Jeff Rollins-Musical Instruments:Woodwind

Musical Instruments: Woodwind
Wendy Lynch


What I like about this book is that it does much more than give a basic knowledge of woodwind instruments. It goes into detail about what kinds of ensembles they perform in, some of the history of this large family of instruments, and goes into great detail about the recorder especially. This book would tie in greatly to a general music curriculum due to the recorder units that almost every general music class teaches. It does a good job of showing the different types of recorders, and that information is easily transferrable to other musical aspects. It uses the recorder as a model of how to make pitches on all of the woodwind instruments, and they show the direct correlation that is useful in teaching all of this.
