Hans Ulrich Staeps’ “Tonfiguren” or “Note Patterns” has been used by recorder teachers all over the world for decades and is firmly established as part of the teaching canon. It complements his well-known book, “The Daily Lesson” and provides exercises to explore the full chromatic range of the alto recorder as well as improve techniques in rhythms and fingering combinations. This new edition makes no unnecessary corrections to Staeps’ music or advice but uses modern graphics and printing techniques to offer an old favourite in a smart new format.
