Totally cool, interactive and educational music! Big Mouth Blues is for recorders and all C instruments, and promises to redefine the state of the art in educational play-a-long publications! Although intended primarily for recorders, Big Mouth Blues is well suited for flutes, keyboards, mallet instruments or guitar (any concert pitched instrument). What makes Big Mouth Blues so unique is the emphasis on learning how to improvise and the fact that it includes instructional tutorials on the recording. Five tunes and over 70 minutes of material are included. This outstanding book has parts which are reproducible for an unlimited number of students, as well as a fingering chart for soprano recorder. Song titles include Hot Cross Buns (using B, A and G); Desert Rider (B, A, G, E); For Minors Only (E, G, A, B); Big Mouth Blues (A, B, C, C#, high D); Country Morning (D major scale.) The neat recorded synthesizer track will add a lot to the fun, both in practice and in performance!
