Product Description
Abracadabra Flute has become a classic in the market, and here is a brand new edition. The cover has been redesigned, the music re-set, and new illustrations commissioned. Some new material has been added, supplying extra help where new notes are introduced and reinforcement exercises for tricky corners. As well as the new edition, there is now a CD available. Performed by professional musicians, it demonstrates each piece on flute with piano accompaniments from our book Abracadabra Flute Piano Accompaniments, enabling the pupil to hear how the pieces sound. Such a CD is invaluable for ensemble experience, and offers all the fun of playing with an accompaniment - perfect for home practice and concerts alike.

Format:Paperback
when i first leart to read and play music i started with the reccommended book "a tune a day" which i was finding difficult and almost gave up my instrument because of this. until i found this book it has music from around the world and mixes easy with hard so you have a chance to feel like you are actually learning something. even now after playing my flute i still go back to this book after 8 years and there are still tunes that i havent mastered but im gettting there

Format:Paperback
I bought this book for my daughter a few weeks into her flute lessons. Being a begginer she was slightly unconfident. This book is just magical in its simplicity and after only a couple of months she is managing some lovely tunes. The book contains exercises that are good for begginers building confidence and more experienced players building precision. It manages to deliver rather difficult lessons into a student and tutor friendly manner.
