Flute method book with gradual progression
de Haske Easy Steps 1 is a Dutch-language method for flute, developed in response to the need for a more gradual progression. Especially at the start, the steps are small, so you can absorb new notes, rhythms and basic musical concepts at a calm pace. This makes the flute method book well suited to beginners and younger students.
The book has 64 pages and forms the foundation of a complete two-part method. You work with clear explanations, exercises, games, ensemble exercises, ear-training exercises and medleys of well-known songs. The clear structure and tidy layout add extra clarity, both in individual music lessons and in group teaching.
Easy Steps 1 by de Haske in practice
This edition includes 2 CDs and a DVD, so you can start working with accompaniment right away. The audio CDs contain accompaniments for all exercises and pieces, often including a played example. The slow tempos make it easier to start playing along fairly quickly.
The DVD includes an instructional video demonstrating the first basics of playing the flute. You can play it on a regular DVD player or on a computer. On a computer, you can also print piano parts for the medleys, so a separate piano book is not needed, and use trios with full score and individual parts for group lessons.
Extra study material for home and lessons
All accompaniment tracks are also available as mp3 files on the DVD. That makes it easy to find the right track for the right song and transfer the files to an mp3 player. This makes the flute tutor practical for home practice, lesson use and studying on the go.
Easy Steps 1 fluit was written by Jaap Kastelein and published by De Haske Publications. If you are looking for a clearly structured flute method for the first steps on the instrument, this edition offers plenty of ready-to-use teaching material.
