How to Play the Flute: A Beginner’s Guide to Learning the Flute Basics, Reading Music, and Playing Songs (Woodwinds for Beginners) Paperback – August 11, 2018

I used to play flute in high school and am taking it up again. This book isn't your standard schoolbook learning guide, it actually explains thing and has pictures! Would highly recommend for newbies or returning players.

This book is good for a new beginner. There is not CD. But the author and assistant even included how to care for you flute: either a closed or open C Flute. The steps to put it together and test for the chromatic scaled tones for proper atonement; Important. I misplaced my first book, and had to reorder one.

I played flute in middle and high school and decided to get back into it. The book was a little too elementary for me. I plan to start at about page 57 and be beyond the whole book in a few days. I ordered it and it was relatively cheap, so I'm not returning it, just donating it to a school after I'm finished.

This book explains many of the basics. It does not give the reader mini-lessons with bits to play. This is the book to read BEFORE that book. Mostly, it covers basic notation, how to put together, hold, and maintain an instrument. It also shows basic fingering and the major scales. It’s a quick read that helps if you are self-studying.

It's a good quality book however it implies it will teach you how to play a flute. This book only teaches you the history of flutes and what types of flutes. You have to read it as a genuine book rather than a lesson book. If you want to learn about flutes it is amazing although it will not teach you how to play the instrument.

Easy to read.

Difficult to follow

The media could not be loaded. This book will help me to learn how to play the flute and it gives me something to do.

Best of its kind includes primary, exclusively explained the useful text.Thanks to the author and kindlle. Many many thanks

I purchased a flute after not picking one up in 20 years since grade 9 band! I forgot everything. This book was the perfect refresher course. EGBDF =every good boy deserves fudge! How could I forget?! embouchure And sheet music refresher was key.

Not comprehensive enough; is a bait and switch book.

Learner to use mouth piece.
