An award-winning and innovative flute method designed to give the beginner an excellent foundation in beautiful tone, embouchure flexibility, rhythm and technique. This comprehensive and step-by-step approach was written to ensure success and also includes theory, composition projects and transposition. Most importantly this method has a proven track record with impressive results. The method is set up so that as the student is able, they can play in both octaves. This is an incrediblly important aspect of teaching beginners. Teaching flute is not like teaching trumpet in which the high notes are more difficult. The main reason the high notes become difficult on the flute, is because the students often only play in the low and middle octaves for as much as one year. The students then have trouble with embouchure flexibility, and the ability to blow using a smaller opening. |
