Duets
There is a separate corresponding duet book for the teacher. All of the first parts or melodies from the duet book are in the student book — so only the teacher needs the duet book. When the teacher plays the second part, there are a total of 75 duets and trios.
Tone and Flexibility
The method is designed so students can play in both octaves without having to read notes in both octaves — an incredibly important aspect of teaching beginners. Teaching flute is not like teaching trumpet; high notes become difficult when students only play in the low and middle octaves for up to a year, leading to trouble with embouchure flexibility and forming a smaller lip opening.
The Blocki Flute Method's unique approach to teaching Five-Note patterns has proven to consistently help even the youngest students develop exceptional technical abilities. Five-note patterns are used as the foundation for teaching new notes, technique, moving between beat levels, simple transposition, and fun ear training.
What's New in the 5th Edition?
After using the method for over 10 years, we knew which pieces students loved and which were just "okay." Everything just "okay" has been replaced with kid-tested, exciting pieces. There are many new duets, and since students love trills, we've included many more — transforming boring octave exercises into motivating pieces like Half Pipe Stunts, Trampoline Tricks, and Bungee Jumping A's. Other new favorites include Yankee Doodle Theme and Variations, The Sad Singing Swan, and The Daring Detective.
Testimonials & Reviews
"As for your method book — I think it is TOPS! Very creative and my kids love it. I find the octaves really get them going and enable them to play such a great variety of things early on, and that keeps their interest. I love the 'Alien Invasions' page! Cool!" ~ Melissa Replogle, flute instructor
