Query: A Disappointment

Okay, this is a good series and this particular book does not belong among the rest of the Teach Yourself. First, it will teach you how to play the scale notes, sharps, flats and so on. However after about 20 pages you get the idea the tunes included in the book are not anything you'd seriously want to play. Most are at least a hundred years or so old, under unrecognizable titles, and just plain silly. If they want to charge so much for this set, then update the music to things more current and some actual classical pieces.As for the CD and DVD, well, they're okay. The DVD is just great if all you want to do is watch a guy play the recorder. It's boring and is not very instructive.This purchase is, in my opinion, a waste of money.
