Good
I’m completely new to the flute. Decided to learn an instrument at 45 and needed some direction. So far this book has been great! It really helps having the online support that goes with it, so you can hear how it’s supposed to sound and play along with the backing tracks. The content is easy to understand and follow, even for complete beginners like me who don’t have prior musical knowledge. There really is great value here and I can’t recommend it enough. I plan to get the next books in the series and keep following the lessons through
Do what needs to do. Good item.
When I originally played the clarinet a little over 20 years ago, my band director at the time told all music students to get this book for our respective instruments. Now, as I am relearning the clarinet, I have reached for this book again. I have also begin learning the flute and have a purchased a copy for the flute. Let me tell you, these books are incredible for young students and at-home learners. New notes and information are present in bite-size pieces, so you will not be overloaded with new notes and except to retain it all. What really makes these books even powerful now is the interactive online platform that Essential Elements offers. I have played around with the Sound Check in the Music Studio and it is such a helpful feature of anyone who is learning in school or like me an adult learning solo at-home. I love the immediate feedback and scores that come with it. I love seeing what I need to work on and what I am getting right. That to me is so much better than the CD that came with the book all those years ago. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is learning a musical instrument!
Exactly the one my kid needed for band
This is just what I needed!!! I’m getting ready to attempt to learn how to play the flute again after 30+years! I ordered one how-to book play the flute book from Amazon and it just wasn’t what I needed. But then I stumbled across this book !!! Perfect for students in an actual band class, beginners or someone wanting to learn again. It’s easy to understand, they have wonderful introductory information about each note on every page. Plus a visual fingering graph for each note introduced. Then, I signed into the online portion using the code that comes with your book. The online part allows you to hear the notes being played and gives you the option to record your practice times. Plus all of the songs that’s in the book are also online so you can hear it or just play along once you get the hang of it. This book feels like I’m sitting next to my middle school band teacher, Mr. Myrick!! Forget those other how-to-play - the flute books and get this book!! I’m certain you want be disappointed. I haven’t even opened my flute yet( it’s my Christmas gift, still wrapped under the tree😜) but I just know this book will get me back to at least where I left off. I’m so excited!!
