Description: This book has helpful illustrations of hand position, both correct and incorrect, and interesting historical side notes and cute flute related poems and anecdotes. I have used this book with students with moderate success; I believe that slurs are introduced too soon in conjunction with articulated notes, and that G sharp is perhaps not the best choice of first accidental due to balance issues.
