Frozen Recorder Fun! | Beginner Recorder Pack with Songbook and Instrument | Easy Disney Songs for Kids | Learn to Play Recorder with Fingering Chart and Instructions

I bought three of these to torture people hahaha, it's a perfect gift for a kid who's parents you don't like! They'll be listening to hours of off key "Let It Go" on the recorder and you'll get the last laugh!!

Over a year later since we gifted this to our niece for Christmas. They live in Florida, so we try to find gifts that leave an impression.Naturally, we find the most appropriately annoying—but certainly fun— gift we can find.From the moment the gift was opened on Christmas to today, it realms as the most annoying gift yet. (Airzookas are also an insanely fun and annoying gift for nieces and nephews)We still get texts from her mother saying “that f***ing recorder!!” And I promise it’s worth the laugh. Plus the niece loves it, and that’s what really matters

best money ive spent in awhile

My sister looked at me with horror when she saw I had got this for my girls to learn. Why would I willingly subject myself to hours of let it go or do you want to build a snow man in the tune of loud squeaks and shrill notes. I'll admit I was questioning my sanity too. But watching my 6 & 8 year old learning to play this little instrument is worth the occasional annoyance ♥️♥️ easy to learn easy to read

This is a book I purchased for my daughter, who really loves Frozen a lot, because since I took a bottom line position of "if you expect me to pay for guitar lessons you need to show me you can pull out the discipline by finishing learning the recorder," I figured it would be the decent thing for me to do to buy her a book geared more towards her interests. We actually both agree on this rating, and even have similar reasons for it.I am going to be comparing this book to "It's Recorder Time," which I think does a better job of teaching the notes at a pace that is more manageable for a child who is either being taught or trying to go through it themselves. My daughter is 10, she was a year younger when she was trying to learn using "It's Recorder Time." She had my assistance with that, as it was the instrument she chose to learn during the brief period of time we were homeschooling, but she found the song selection to be so boring, and the lack of illustrations to be no fun whatsoever, and she was putting up so much passive aggressive resistance, that I quickly decided it was unessential and doubled down on the essentials that needed to be covered for standardized testing. There was a ton of dissatisfaction with that book from her end. From mine, I went through and used the entire thing, and found it to do a good job of progressing at a comfortable pace for teaching both notes and music reading concepts, and I highly recommend it, with the caveat that depending on your child, they may have similar feelings of boredom with the songs and plainness of the pages.For this Frozen book, there is only a very brief section that goes over 6 of the notes, which doesn't seem too bad, except the other book we have goes over several more. This book has about 8-9 measures each of "Mary Had a Little Lamb," "Aura Lee," "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," and "This Old Man" to practice these notes. There is a very minimalized explanation of fingering technique and some basic music reading-it is so stripped down I personally don't think it will be sufficient for many kiddos without assistance from a grown up. Then you get a page with fingering chart that shows the other notes on the treble clef above the finger placement chart drawing. There are 27 of these drawings. Then the simplified songs from the movie are given with coloring pages of the characters,My daughter felt like there's not enough explanations, and she said this is not a good book to try and teach yourself from. I would agree that the other book is definitely better when it comes to that. I have been stepping in and helping her a fair bit, and unless your kiddo can already read music, they may find the fingering chart to be confusing and may pick the wrong fingerings to practice for their particular note, seeing for example, as how the fingering changes for a D that is an octave lower on the staff. This may confuse them because the manufacturer chose to mark the letter names for the notes in the notes themselves on the staff, but the letter name doesn't change just because it went up or down an octave. My daughter was pulling up the wrong finger placements on things for the parts she was trying to do without my help.I do like that the music is printed in a bigger size, that the songs progress in order of difficulty, and that the music is something she likes. But right now, I think she's actually feeling a bit less critical of the other book ;) unexciting as it is. I also like that this recorder can be pulled apart into sections for cleaning, the other one she has can't, it's all one piece, which makes it much more of a challenge to clean. I would recommend though that if you yourself don't read music and know how to play recorder, that you get them the other, less exciting book to go along with this so that they can go through that with the promise of being able to play the more exciting songs as they progress. I just feel like there's too little explanation here for many kiddos to actually get the job done well for learning these songs and that it could lead to discouragement and abandonment for all but the very motivated without supplemental assistance.

I know some parents can't stand this thing but we love it. ...Don't get me wrong, we have our moments but all in all, it's fun. Our daughter got it for Christmas from Santa and she loves it. She learned the basic finger positions quickly and plays some of the songs constantly. *the Frozen songs are the new songs that never end apparently... some people started singing it not knowing what it was...*She's still learning but that's part of the fun for her. When it starts to get on our nerves, we send her to her room to play it or she can take it outside. Not that hard, people.

I got this for my sister's child... My sister hates whenever the kids are loud and I feel like she'll take batteries out and say it's broken. She also will only travel with them when they are sleeping. So I bought this for them and they instantly started playing and enjoying it. Hopefully, this doesn't "break" and they can enjoy their musical toy.

Best revenge gift ever made. I highly recommend you get accessories to clean and maintain the recorder as well... That way the child/ torture artist can make maximum use of this awesome musical instrument.I purchased this as a gift for my niece, specifically to get revenge on my older sister for years of childhood issues. I have to say it was the best $ I have ever spent. Better than therapy. If I could give it 200 stars I would.My niece loved it so much she started try I g to "play" it minutes after opening it.
