The Blocki Flute Method

Great Beginnings DVD
A Quick Start to Beautiful Tone!

An incredibly helpful video that teaches tone production using the Pneumo Pro. Although this fun and fast paced video targets the beginning flutist, many universities currently use the Great Beginnings video to instruct future band directors. Each of the six lessons concentrates on a different aspect of tone production for the beginning flutist. While playing along with the video, students can master low and high notes, rhythm exercises, head joint songs, and even compose their own head joint melodies. Close-ups of the embouchure in each octave help the students have a crystal clear understanding of the size of the lip opening, placement of the lips, and direction of the air. Both students and teachers will discover invaluable insights regarding the process of effective beginning flute instruction.

Testimonials & Reviews

"The entire package was done beautifully with great clarity in the teaching points on embouchure and tone. This video would make an excellent supplement to whichever band method book is used, and would be particularly useful for the band teacher, who is not a flutist, to use with the students to help them get an excellent start."

"This visible approach is very inspiring, and the Kid Tips are a lot of fun. Information in this humorous way is easily imprinted on young minds."
