1785450365 Fairground Fiesta – Treble Tutor

Fairground Fiesta – treble tutor with songs & tunes for treble and descant recorders. Heather Ward.

Fairground Fiesta enables new treble-learners to play alongside descant players with music that is appropriate to the needs of the beginning treble players and the fluent descant players. This makes for efficient use of teacher-time and avoids children becoming frustrated by waiting for others to catch up.

The book includes a series of performance songs on a fairground theme – the Big Wheel, the Ghost Train, the Dodgy Dodgem, the Candy floss Kiosk and Fifi the Fortune-Teller amongst others. The catchy and memorable words are all written to help to learn the rhythm of the tune, so that the player can concentrate on the notes.

The CD of accompaniments provides different tracks so children can hear the whole piece with accompaniments, each of the separate treble and descant lines and then play along to the accompaniment.

Heather Ward is an experienced primary school teacher in Leeds and Bristol and hasworked with recorder groups, children’s orchestras and choirs throughout the primary age-range.
