I want to order the Nine-Note Recorder from Penny Gardner's website. I know nothing about music and do not play any instruments. How do I know whether or not I want the saprano or the alto?

Thanks!

Jennifer

Jennifer,

I'm not familiar with the Nine-Note method, but when I tried teaching myself recorder years ago, Alto is a larger one than Soprano, and the finger spread to cover the holes for notes is a little harder than the soprano recorder. Perhaps someone has better input.

Alto plays a bit lower notes than soprano, if you want to know sound difference.

Hi Jennifer,

I just received the Nine-Note book and it looks great! We will start it soon and I will let you know how it goes. We are using soprano recorders.

Thanks, ladies! I now have a copy of Nine Note for soprano. Where did you get your recorders from?

We just got decent recorders locally, but I believe that Penny's website recommends some really nice recorders. Ours are fine for us at this point. recorders
