Product Description

Etude in the Third Octave
for improving solo recorder playing (version for C recorders)

The intention of this book is to introduce the third octave of the recorder to intermediate and advanced students no matter their age. The first section introduces each chromatic pitch from Bb6 to G6 (the highest possible pitch on a standard soprano recorder) in a pedagogically appropriate fashion. Each etude should be practiced slowly at first, focusing on correct fingering, phrasing and articulation prior to attaining full tempo. All of these etudes are purposefully composed using a variety of rhythmic and harmonic materials. On some of the fingering charts, bell is included underneath the fingering. This indicates that the bell is to be closed either by pushing it up against the leg or the use of a bell key. Throughout the musical examples this is also reminded to the student by the usage of the + sign.
The second and third sections take students through recommended exercises in octaves, fifths, and major/minor scales. The goal here is to practice clean and swift transitions between notes, especially when in distant registers.
The last section comprises two page-long Grand Etudes, which each reinforce and combine material from earlier in this book. Each one is about a minute long and uses the entire range of the instrument. When practicing these, be sure to attempt to keep the sound of the recorder consistent across both low and high registers.
