Thought I'd just write something about the thinking behind "Red Hot Recorder Songs", as some of the songs appear in the "Playtime" section of "Sixty Sizzling Songz".
The reason I wrote the book, was firstly because pieces like "EBGB's "Mr Cool" and banana tango (pieces with lyrics) had caught the imagination of pupils and so many people had said "My pupils favourite piece is....).
I thought there was some weight in doing a whole book of such pieces as an extra learning tool for those pupils who needed the extra help of song words to learn to play and eventually read the notes. It was quite a challenge to come up with two and three note pieces that also had lyrics to aid learning. There are the inevitable titles like "BA star" and "In the BAG" but they seem to work especially for those who will find reading notes difficult.
"Sixty Sizzling Songz" has a selection of subtitles that the songs come under ( Fun time, Swing time, Old time, One more time etc). "Play time" is a group of songs that you can play along to with a simple recorder or treble concert instrument part.
