I have used this book in many different scenarios and find that it is useful for group or individual instruction. He was the Chair of the British Flute Society from 2015-2018, and is the author of Abracadabra Flute and Abracadabra Flute Technique. Jade is a flute player and music educator with a passion for educating the next generation of musicians. A full list of the specific set-up materials and processes is offered on these selected instrument pages.

A focus on tone and a firm low register is often something lacking in a beginner’s book for the flute and so this flute book is unique in having this focus!The flute comes apart into three pieces, and packs into a very small case, ideal for carrying to and from band practice! It is not only classical music that can be performed on the flute, but it is also greatly appreciated in the folk and jazz music scenes around the world. Music centres are set up in many towns to give students an opportunity to meet like-minded people whilst putting their playing into practice. With additional teaching material - and with nothing left out from the previous edition - Abracadabra Flute will continue to engage and excite the young player. Teaching good posture from the beginning will reap benefits straight away in reducing tension in the head, neck, shoulders, arms and fingers.

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. 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.The Trevor James 10x Flute is a high quality student flute that is perfect for the complete beginner up until around grade 6 level. This is specially designed to act as a companion to Abracadabra Flute but can be used alongside any tutorial method. 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.

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.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. B to C is more difficult because the LH thumb comes off for C: make sure the flute is still balanced!

As with the Abracadabra book for the flute, this book does jump right in with three notes, B A and G and so may not be completely suitable for complete beginners.

It is important to use a specialist microfibre cloth rather than a household duster, so not to leave behind thread that can affect the mechanisms of the keys.
