Play Country Dances - Graded Tunes for Descant Recorder

From the Publisher

This delightful collection of tunes, both well-known and less familiar,, from Playford's great 17th-century anthology The Dancing Master, has been compiled primarily for the pleasure of the recorder player. For the convenience of teachers, and as a guide for less experienced players, the tunes have been carefully graded according to the notes they use and to their relative difficulty within the group.

Playing country dance tunes is an excellent way for students to develop their technique. It is also a most enjoyable one.
