Description: 64 Pages

The Western concert flute is an important solo and orchestra instrument in classical music. But the flute is as well used in folk, jazz, pop and rock music. This book wants to give you an easy introduction to flute playing. Everything the soon-to-be flutist needs to know is described in an easy-to-understand manner and can be acquired with the help of technical exercises. Of course, the necessary music theory is included as well. Well-known play-along pieces allow the player a quick start to making music.

The playback CD guarantees motivation and fun with the instrument.
