This is specially designed to act as a companion to Abracadabra Flute but can be used alongside any tutorial method. One of my favourite aspects of this book is that many tunes use just one note. There is a whole chapter of pieces just written for the note B, which as a flute teacher is incredibly useful if you have a student that is struggling to make a sound. It helps the student to see progress without having the pressure of learning loads of new notes.
