Winner of the 2022 National Flute Association Newly Published Music Award
Flute Zoo Books are a fun, colorful, and engaging way to learn the flute — designed with elementary-age students in mind, though older beginners and adults love them too! Each book is 32–40 pages long, so students quickly build a sense of accomplishment as they progress through the series.
About Flute Zoo Book 1
Book 1 begins with head joint exercises to establish a beautiful tonal foundation. Irresistibly fun songs encourage playing in both the high and low registers — first on the head joint, then with the whole flute. Energetic drum accompaniment tracks help students develop a steady beat from the start.
Students begin with simple finger changes (B, A, and G) so they can focus on tone before tackling more complex fingering. The Froggie Key Clicks song teaches coordination and fingering while still on the head joint. By the end of Book 1, students have learned 5 notes but can play in both octaves — giving them 10 notes total! The final page is a certificate of accomplishment students can proudly display.
Accompaniment tracks are available here or on YouTube.
The Flute Zoo Advantage
- Tone: Students learn high and low notes from the very beginning, developing embouchure flexibility that is essential for long-term success on the flute.
- Rhythm: Books 1–3 and the Five-Note Fun Sticker Book work together to build a solid rhythmic foundation, gradually introducing more complex patterns.
- Creative Composing: Each book includes engaging composition activities that develop creativity and reinforce new concepts.
Flute Zoo vs. Blocki Flute Method Book 1
The content of Blocki Flute Method Book 1 covers the same ground as Flute Zoo Books 1, 2, and 3. The Flute Zoo series moves at a slightly slower pace with shorter books, giving younger students a frequent sense of accomplishment. After completing all four Flute Zoo books, students are ready to begin Blocki Flute Method Book 2.
