“Excellent material for the early years of flute playing”
Chris Hankin Just Flutes staff member - [email protected]
A Dozen A Day has been a staple of early years piano playing for a long time and now the format has been adapted for the flute. Divided into 5 Groups, each set of exercises is progressive within itself, increasing the difficulty of both the notes and the rhythms, as well as improving breathing and slurring. Group 1 uses only 5 notes whereas Group 5 extends to top D. The accompanying CD is good and the simple line drawings that illustrate the text are very appealing. This book will be a complement to any teaching method.
