Description

Format: Book and CD

Notes: Fairground Fiesta is an introduction to the treble recorder, an instrument which gives a fuller, more musical sound. Fairground Fiesta enables new treble-learners to play alongside with descant players, with music that is appropriate to the needs of the beginning treble players and the fluent descant players. 

The book includes a new series of performance songs on a fairground theme which are tuned to children’s interests. They’ll have fun playing on the Big Wheel, the Ghost Train, the Dodgy Dodgem, the Candy floss Kiosk and meeting Fifi the Fortune-Teller.  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.
