Reader Reviews

Learning to play the recorder is so easy!
In this gift set, there is a red recorder kit and a super cute book. There are steps by steps so children can learn very fast. The book also contains 13 rhymes to practise. I think older children who want to learn a new musical instrument may love this too.
