Abracadabra Flute: Pupil's Book: The Way to Learn Through Songs and Tunes (Abracadabra Woodwind)

Product Information

It can be played by people of all ages and skill level but the recommended age to start flute lessons is around 10 years old. By using pad savers such as Rico Flute Padguard can ultimately keep your instrument's pads intact for longer and so reducing servicing costs. A full list of the specific set-up materials and processes is offered on these selected instrument pages. The alternative Cleaning Mop is however the most convenient as it does not require any additional material and can be deposed of when it begins to deteriorate. Abracadabra spells 'excellent instrumental tutors' and the Abracadabra approach to learning through songs and tunes has set countless beginners on a clear path of progress and enjoyment with their chosen instrument.

As a musician it is definitely useful to know both the American and British terms for the note lengths. All students that you teach will have a different set of requirements and so deciding which beginner’s book to use is very important. This book would be most suitable for older beginner students as it is not as fun as some other methods out there, due to purely black and white images and no illustrations.This book jumps straight in to pieces using the notes B A G which is a little more advanced than the previous book. This can include use of specialised materials and processes to enhance the feel, response and playability of the instrument. I personally like to have a flute book that has illustrations throughout showing correct posture and fingerings so that flute pupils have something to refer back to when practicing at home without the instruction of a teacher.

The flute, in this case, is supplied with a case (with a shoulder strap and handle), clearing stick and polishing cloth - everything that you need to get started. There is a whole chapter of pieces just written for the note B, which as a flute teacher is incredibly useful if you have a student that is struggling to make a sound.The Suzuki method books for beginners were originally written for violin and the flute book is based on the same ideas, students are taught using the mother tongue method. In this post I will look at some of the best beginner flute books out there that I have used myself and also with my flute students to learn the basics of good flute playing. There are lots of helpful diagrams, explanations and exercises covering all basic aspects of flute technique in my book: Abracadabra Flute Technique. This series looks at some common challenges faced by pupils and teachers and breaks them down into simple steps to make teaching technique easy even if the flute is not your first instrument, or if you teach a mixed ability group.

There are many different beginner flute books out there and each of them have different strengths and weaknesses. It is very hard to say which is the best flute book as each flute book focuses on different things, whether that be theory, a huge range of songs, duets or specifics on the instrument.Pick up your flute and position your feet slightly apart at a 2 o’clock position in relation to the wall with the left foot slightly in front of the right.

When first doing these exercises blowing the flute it’s OK to play slowly and to separate the notes. Having a backing track for every piece in the book can give more structure to the very simple pieces so that pupils can feel a bigger sense of achievement.It helps to reduce tension to a minimum and hence reduce the risk of overuse injuries later on in a player’s career.
