Standard of Excellence Book #1

I would definitely recommend this book to all beginners. It has it for every kind of instrument and is very educational. I learned how to play flute within one week with it. I would rate it five stars. This is a very good beginner's book.

Very helpful.

I am now 13 and I used this book when I was 10. It was all my band teacher used. It worked great because now I am in the top of my class and I am section leader.
