Flute tutor with a gradual learning curve
Easy Steps 2, Dwarsfluit by de Haske is a Dutch-language flute tutor created for players who need a method with small, manageable steps. New notes, rhythms and musical terms are introduced step by step through clear explanations, exercises, games and medleys of well-known songs. That makes this flute method especially useful in teaching situations where a calm progression matters.
The approach is practical and leaves room for personal input during lessons. Its clear structure and easy layout help keep the material understandable while you work on new playing and musical basics on the flute.
Contents of the Jaap Kastelein method
This edition by Jaap Kastelein has 64 pages and comes as a book plus 2CD plus CD-ROM. The two audio CDs contain accompaniments for all exercises and performance pieces, often including a demonstration version as well. The slow tempos make it easier to start playing along quite quickly during practice.
The included CD-ROM adds even more ways to use the method. It contains an instructional video showing the first basics of flute playing, printable piano parts for the medleys and twelve trios with both full score and separate parts. All accompaniment tracks are also included as mp3 files, so you can easily find the right track for each song and take them with you for practice at home or on the go.
Suitable for lessons and group playing
Easy Steps is designed as a complete two-part method for training beginning musicians. In this second flute volume, the material includes not only exercises and playing pieces but also ensemble exercises and ear-training work, which makes it strong for use in lessons and group classes.
If you are looking for a flute tutor that builds skills in a structured way and immediately offers plenty of supporting material, de Haske Easy Steps 2 is a logical choice.
