5.0 out of 5 stars Great for a Beginner, November 8, 2003
By 
Sara Swihart (Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Essential Elements : A Comprehensive Band Method (Flute Book 1) (Paperback)
The "Essential Elements : A Comprehensive Band Method - Book 1" is a great book for a young person who is learning an instrument for the first time. There is a fingering chart in the back of the book to make looking up fingerings quick and easy. The book starts off very basic with the parts of the instrument. The easiest notes to play and finger are presented first with exercises to practice them.

Hal Leonard also offered other books (though I haven't found them on Amazon) that correlate with some of the skills in this book. They are:
Essential Elements Movie Favorites
Essential Elements Broadway Favorites
Essential Elements Patriotic Favorites

Practice makes PERMANENT, not PERFECT.
