Welcome to The Yamaha AdvantageTM Recorder Plus

This method will teach you to play the recorder by having fun singing and playing your favorite songs. After learning

to play the recorder, you may wish to learn to play a band or orchestral instrument. To help you make your choice,

The Yamaha AdvantageTM Recorder Plus Method includes information about many instruments.

The optional CD accompaniment for this book is recorded by a great band. The CD will also give you an example of

how your instrument should sound, as well as the other instruments you might like to play. It will also provide hours

of enjoyable play-along experiences. (CD available separately.)

Have a great time making music.

The instruments of today’s band and orchestra are divided into four INSTRUMENT FAMILIES.

The WOODWIND FAMILY (not all are made of wood), the BRASS FAMILY, the PERCUSSION FAMILY and the

STRING FAMILY. Throughout this book we will take a closer look at some instruments from each of the families.

STAFFMusic is written on a five line staff. Between each line there is a space.

At the beginning of each staff there is a clef. The treble clef encircles the second line which

is the note G and is sometimes called the G clef.

The FLUTE, which is made of metal, is a member of the woodwind family

and plays the high notes in band and orchestra music.

The flute is played by blowing across the open hole in the

mouthpiece, much like you might blow across the top

of a bottle to make a sound.

The air that goes into the instrument vibrates to

produce the flute sound.

To play sounds (notes) that are higher or

lower, you release or depress the keys.

The SNARE DRUM is made of wood or metal. It has a drum head

on both the top and bottom. It also has wire snares which

lightly touch the bottom drum head. It is played by

striking the top head of the drum with a stick.

The head vibrates and sends the vibrations

through the drum to the bottom head which

also vibrates, causing the snares to vibrate

which produces the snare drum sound.

To play F≥, lift up the first finger

of your right hand. Your left hand

fingers and fingers two and three

of your right hand remain down.



The TROMBONE, which is made of brass, is a member of

the brass family. Like the trumpet, it is played by buzzing

the lips in the mouthpiece. The vibration of the lips

sends vibrations into the instrument to produce

the trombone sound. To play sounds

(notes) that are higher or lower,

you move the slide in or out.

The sharp sign (≥) affects all F’s that appear in the same measure.

The VIOLIN is made of wood with four strings attached. It is a

member of the string family and plays the high notes in the

orchestra. It is played by plucking the strings with the finger

(like a guitar) or by drawing a bow across them. The strings

vibrate to produce the violin sound. To play sounds

(notes) that are higher or lower, you depress the

strings at different points.
