Voice and rhythm settings for the keyboard parts are included at the end of the book.As with all the Old MacDonald Recorder Books the emphasis is on the music being fun to play. Teachers will find that the strong rhythmic character of the dances will help pupils to develop rhythmic security in their playing.
