The Method
Toot and Hoot Flute Method is easy to use, creative, engaging and fun way to learn the flute dedicated to the young beginners. It will tickle children's curiosity and introduce them into the world of flute playing. It is based on learning through play, experiences and engagement.
The beginner books that are dedicated to early beginners, introduces the material in a pace suitable for the age and includes a variety of interactive games to help the early flute beginner enjoy the process of learning the flute. We rap and move to gain rhythm skills, sing for good intonation, stretching for healthy posture, coloring and matching games to enhance the music reading skills, card quizzes and board games for revisions.
The entire method was created organically over years of teaching young beginners on flute. It represents solutions developed iteratively in areas of tone, time, technique and theory. For example, learning rhythm and tunes before being introduced to theory, or starting with note G and delaying the introduction of the note C, gives the student time to develop a stable hand and body position.
I wanted to create not only a beginners' flute book, but a method that would help develop the student as a more complete young musician.
