This book helped me alot!!It was the first book I ever had for my flute so it was kind of hard at first, but then as the year went on I got to be very good and I loved to practice!!!!It has some great songs it too!!!!I give this book 5 stars!!!!
This series is used in our local elementary school. My son plays the trumpet already, and since I had a flute from my childhood, he decided to give it a go as well. I bought this book, which has a great fingering chart. He had taught himself! It leads the learner through the proper steps of learning an instrument. I would recommend this book with high regard.
This is the book that I needed to get for my 4th Grader who is taking Flute as part of the national curriculum. It's the book you need to get as requested by our school and through this seller the one I got was brand new in mint condition and I received it within 4 days. I had ordered through someone else on but had to return it (and obtain a refund but I was out of pocket the $3 postal return fee)! so was very happy when I finally got this one. It comes with a double cd and although my daughter hates the flute she was pleased with the book!
This is just book one of I believe three for flute players. This teaches basics very well. How to read the music, and time signaures and so forth. I say basics but it does get pretty advaced more towards the end of the book. Fairly good for people who just want to learn to play the flute without being in band.
I learned to play the flute 15 years ago with this book, and now my daughter is learning with it too! It breaks it down and makes it very easy to learn music. She is practically teaching herself with this book.Great resource for any beginner!
My nine year old is beginning flute lessons and this fits the bill. I think a more accomplished flutist would need something heavier.
I used this book as a child when I was learning flute. When my daughter decided to start learning flute (age 9) I purchased a copy for her. She loves using this book and doesn't feel intimidated by the process. Standards of Excellence is perfect for any beginning musician. It simultaneously teaches the fundamentals of reading music while also guiding the student through basic exercises, adding one note at a time until they are comfortable with the process. It has a fingering chart in the back with all the basic notes and fingerings used in primary band music.I plan on purchasing this book for my sons when they are ready to learn an instrument. Standards of Excellence has stood the test of time and remains an invaluable part of the learning process in regards to music in my family.
I have been a band director for 11 years and have used this book exclusively since my second year. This book has all the materials needed to become a great begging band student. The only thing I would chance is starting with quarter notes instead of the whole note and I would not teach breath marks to a student that needs to learn tonguing.
