INTRODUCTIONThis book is written and designed for a beginner who will be able to teach him/herself how to play a recorder and understand some theories of music with ease. Again, this book will be of a great help to students in understanding the practical aspects of music both at the primary and secondary school levels. These days, compositions have become a difficult task amidst the choir such that having their own copyright to musical compositions have become rare, rather songs from unknown sources are embraced. For this reason, church music has become less spiritual (1Cor.14:15b).However, this book will enhance the composing and singing abilities of choir in our various churches. It will also help them to sight sing lots of great gospel songs and hymns with tonic sol-fa. Churches are advised to recommend this book for their choir. In conclusion, this book contains lots of practical works that are playable with any other musical instrument, like saxophone, trumpet, piano, guitar, clarinet, flute, violin e.t.c. Therefore, parents are requested to encourage their children by buying them the book (The Recorder's Book for Easy Learning with great gospel songs & hymns' tonic sol-fa) and any musical instrument of their choice, apart from the recorder which the book centers on. This will indeed help them to showcase their God-given talents.

Written late in life, this remarkable book was described by Percy Scholes as offering the most practically valuable study of the art of teaching music in existence.The first book of its kind to appear in the language, it began by summarising principles common to the teaching of all subject, next applying those principles to the teaching of music. Even today the thoughtful reader will find himself impressed by Curwen's exposition of general educational principles expressed in jargon-free terms and supported by excerpts from the writings of the leading educatinal thinkers of his day. The text has been enlarged by four per cent for ease of reading.

This collection of songs in the Tonic Sol-Fa system is ideal for use in Sunday schools, day schools, and singing schools. With a brief course of instruction and a graded selection of songs, this book is perfect for both beginners and advanced singers.

In Sarah Anna Glover: Nineteenth Century Music Education Pioneer, Jane Southcott explores the life and pedagogy of Sarah Anna Glover, the female music education pioneer of congregational singing (psalmody) and singing in nineteenth-century schools. Glover devoted her life to the creation and propagation of a way of teaching class music that was meticulously devised, musically rigorous, and successfully promulgated. Southcott analyzes Glover’s methods, history, and memory, and works to correct inaccuracies and misrepresentations that have emerged since Glover’s death.
