The teen queen's big lament was (is -- just got off the phone) that it is hard to find good elementary music books to practice on for people who are just learning -- she found Mel Bay's Deluxe Tinwhistle Songbook (by Patrick Conway) to be about the best. It has pictures of the hand positions for non-music readers. She is picking through recorder books (but they are mostly in C, so have to be transposed up or down, etc.). I suppose it is good practice. But anyway, she is finding it hard to find a combination of records and the sheet music. None of the records she can find has the tunes that the books have, and vice versa.
