Hereinspaziert and welcome to the 'Flötenzirkus'. This new recorder school makes it easy for children ages five and up to learn their first flute notes. Over ninety songs with many lyrics around the themes of fairy tales, theater and circus encourage children to have creative fun with music, play and dance. Among them are well-known children's songs from 'Hänschen klein' to the 'Pumuckl-Lied' as well as songs for the seasons and special occasions. Many funny pictures stimulate the imagination to color. Simple exercises familiarize the reader with musical notation. The range of notes from c' to d' is intentionally without accidentals and overblowing. The introduction of the tones follows didactic aspects. The learning progress is made visible by reward points and 'The big circus picture puzzle'.
The fold-out fingering chart facilitates the memorization of the fingering patterns. The school is suitable for both baroque and German fingering.
The 'Flute Circus' is also suitable for group lessons in elementary school, kindergarten or early musical education.
