The contents page of Tuneful Tales tells you that this is a book designed to encourage younger players to think beyond the notes on the page. Perfect for developing the link between the title and the music, storytelling is at the heart of this process. These progressive pieces will improve flute technique too. Add in demo and backing tracks accessed via a QR code and you have an extremely useful book which kids will love.
Tuneful Tales is a new collection of 14 pieces from the UK composer and educator Edmund Hartzell.
This edition is for solo flute with piano accompaniment (printed/posted book with audio downloads code to access and download your full demonstration and backing only audio tracks).
These magical miniatures are varied and eclectic and really help fire the imagination of players and teachers alike.
The pieces are suitable for beginner to intermediate players (c.grades 1-4 UK) and make a wonderful addition to teaching and concert repertoire for adults and children alike. They are also good preparation for exam pieces and can be used as 'own choice' exam pieces with certain exam boards.
Players are encouraged to expand on the stories to make the most of the performance aspects of each piece/tale.
