Breeze-Easy Method for Flute, Bk 1 (Breeze-Easy Series, Bk 1)

This was the book her school requires for the flute. It came with minimal damage to one corner and is doing exactly what we need it to. It's oversized so I had to find a larger binder to hold it to keep it from being ruined in her backpack.

(The author of this review is a musician, with 48 years' experience playing flute in multiple venues. Currentlyteaching flute privately and answering flute questions on AllExperts.com, she is also an active soloist and band member. The following review is written from that perspective.)Breeze Easy Book 1 is a simple, easy to understand, step-by-step method for the flute beginner who has NEVER had ANY musical instruction. It introduces only one or two small, simple concepts at a time, till the student finds himself/herself well-equipped, both in reading music, and specific technique on the flute. The book is short, with very few pages, and very large writing, well-spaced across the pages for easy reading.While many of the more "modern" flute method books now offer DVDs and CDs, they seem to focus on quickly preparing their students with general skills for the school band. While this is all well and good, some beginning students seem to find the complexity of using a DVD player, CD player, and trying to "keep up" a bit much. Dare I say, "overwhelming?" Even those students who can keep up with the fast pace find themselves "basically-trained for playing in school bands." And that is the intent of these methods.But the BREEZE EASY Method trains a "total musician." They end up "well-rounded," and "well-grounded," and can later use that training to expand into a variety of other musical endeavors. For simple, unassuming, easy learning... THIS BOOK IS GREAT FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS! Though it is an older copyright, it still trains a true musician.

these books are perfect for my grand kids who are beginners the photos show how to hold the instruments also the position of the mouth and lips on the mouthpiece

Great for beginners.

Great!
