Abracadabra Flute: Pupil's Book: The Way to Learn Through Songs and Tunes (Abracadabra Woodwind)

Product Information

This book jumps straight in to pieces using the notes B A G which is a little more advanced than the previous book. Clear illustrations are included throughout these books and these help by showing the correct posture and fingerings for a beginner flute player. Its small size means it is very portable, few accessories are needed to get started making it ideal for beginners. The flute, in this case, is supplied with a case (with a shoulder strap and handle), clearing stick and polishing cloth - everything that you need to get started. I personally like to have a flute book that has illustrations throughout showing correct posture and fingerings so that flute pupils have something to refer back to when practicing at home without the instruction of a teacher.

Jade has been helping people learn music theory for more than 10 years from pre school children all the way to degree level studies. He is the co-author of ‘Parade of the Pipers’ from the new collection of contemporary fairy tales from Collins Big Cat. No matter how insistent the pupil or the parent is, sometimes it is better to delay starting smaller pupils: they can do so much damage trying to play an instrument that is too big for them! However, if you are looking for something that teaches you all the basic aspects of flute technique and music theory then this is a great book!Trevor wye encourages the enjoyment in playing music and this book for the flute is ideal for using in individual instruction or group lessons. Music centres are set up in many towns to give students an opportunity to meet like-minded people whilst putting their playing into practice.

This book is based on the traditional Suzuki method and is a more usual entry in our best beginner flute books list.It helps to reduce tension to a minimum and hence reduce the risk of overuse injuries later on in a player’s career. A focus on tone and a firm low register is often something lacking in a beginner’s book for the flute and so this flute book is unique in having this focus! As with the Abracadabra book for the flute, this book does jump right in with three notes, B A and G and so may not be completely suitable for complete beginners.
