Head Joint Melodies 2
In these new head joint melodies, the idea is to play duets. But this time it's not just with two head joints. I have used quite a few other things that are not normally used in traditional flute lessons. This means that the teaching would like to be more varied and perhaps also a little more fun. You can of course use other rhythm instruments if you don't have the instruments I have used available.
If you don't have the time or materials to make the small caterpillar, you can, for example, use a pipe cleaner as a caterpillar.
There are several techniques that can be tried out and there are also songs with extended techniques that you don't traditionally learn until you've been playing for many years. All the duets can be played by two students at approximately the same level or by a student and the teacher.
Some duets are written as traditional duets where you have to play together at the same time, others are written as echo games and some you have to wait until it is your turn.
For all the melodies there is an explanation written on how to play it and suggestions for different tones or techniques you can use.
Enjoy!
Anne is a flute teacher based in Denmark with more than 20 years of teaching experience. She is always in the search for new fun ways to teach the flute and most recently she was trained as a Music Mind Games teacher. She completed her masters degree in flute and flute pedagogy at Nordjysk Music Conservatorium in Denmark. At Rudersdal Music School, where she teach the flute, she also teaches elementary music education. Anne completed a degree in Art and Culture intermediary from the University College Sjælland. Her favorite color is red and yellow like a beautiful sunset. Due to a lack of good flute method books in Danish for little students, Anne wrote her own flute method book! This book is now being translated to English by her daughter. It is important to Anne that kids who start learning music at an early age are given the best start which includes a lot of laughter and fun games.
