Ricordi – The Alto Recorder, Volume 2 (+CD) – Manfredo Zimmermann

Ricordi – The Alto Recorder, Volume 2 (+CD) by Manfredo Zimmermann is a modern and well-thought-out recorder method specifically designed for young students aged 10 and up, as well as adult beginners and those returning to the instrument. The textbook combines fundamental technical content with a varied repertoire, covering many musical styles—ideal for individual or group lessons.

With a systematic structure and practical exercises, this method provides a solid foundation or the ideal next step after the first volume. The accompanying CD supports independent practice: Many of the pieces included are featured on it both as audio samples and as play-along versions. This makes learning interactive, motivating, and musically engaging.

Didactic Concept and Musical Diversity

“The Alto Recorder, Volume 2” stands out for its integrative approach: In addition to technical exercises, aspects such as articulation, expression, and ensemble playing are specifically emphasized. Many of the pieces are written for two voices and include suggestions for accompanying instruments, enabling students to make music together right from the start.

The stylistic range extends from traditional music to classical works and on to modern and international pieces. This keeps lessons varied and motivating—an important factor, especially for teenagers and adult beginners who want to make targeted progress.

Who is this method book intended for?

This textbook is intended for recorder students who have already acquired basic skills on the alto recorder. It is suitable for continuing instruction after Volume 1, as well as for returning students who wish to systematically refresh their playing. The book can be used flexibly in both private and group lessons and offers many ideas for making music together.

Its clear structure, careful selection of pieces, and the included CD support independent practice and promote learning success. An excellent teaching resource for music schools, private instructors, and dedicated self-learners.

Why Ricordi’s *The Alto Recorder, Volume 2* Stands Out

With *The Alto Recorder, Volume 2*, Ricordi presents a method that excels in terms of pedagogy, musicality, and practicality.

Anyone looking to further develop their skills on the alto recorder and seeking a practice-oriented textbook with a CD will find this volume to be an excellent choice.
