The series 'Unterwegs mit der Querflöte' (Out and About With the Flute) is for children from the age of 5 learning to play the flute in one-to-one lessons or in pairs. The main aim has been to keep the book as concise as possible and to leave out any information which doesn't directly concern the pupil. The key features: - Simple explanations - easy for children from the age of 5 to follow - Four icons show what to do - without any fancy words - Playing duets and from memory right from the start - for holistic music-making - Ample additional material - numerous pieces, piano accompaniments and exercises together with the complete teacher's book and a parent's supplement are available online free of charge at: www.holzschuh-verlag.de/unterwegs Volume 1 - Draußen im Grünen (Out in the Country) looks at playing in the five-note range f' - c^2 and reinforces what has been learnt with additional exercises and puzzles in a motivating but not overloaded approach. With the help of four icons, each child immediately knows what is to be done at which point in the book and can also work independently. This flute tutor thus has no need for lengthy explanations and reams of information and the pupil will only find what is really meant to be for him.

Jazz Conception is a new and exciting way for players at all levels to learn the language of jazz! Each book/audio-set features 21 solo etudes based on chord changes to standards and blues.
The same 21 etudes transposed and adapted for the main jazz instruments.
See and hear how a well known soloist phrases and articulates and play along with or without the soloist on the audio tracks.
Play along with one of today's finest, swinging New York rhythm sections: Mike LeDonne on piano, Dennis Irwin on bass, and Kenny Washington on drums.
Start out fairly easy, then get progressively more difficult.
Use the etudes as a bridge to solos of the masters that are usually more complicated and involved.
Learn melodies and lines that will give you a solid jazz vocabulary and musicality.
Use the book/audio-set for private lessons, for self-study, or in any combination up to a full jazz ensemble, including flute and clarinet.
If you are more advanced you may want to use the book to develop your sight reading abilities, for transcribing the etudes (then check against the book) or for just having fun playing along with a great jazz rhythm section.
Use as an improvisation study, learning how to construct a swinging, logical solo - works especially well in combination with the Study Guide.
The Jazz Conception Series is also perfectly suited for the class room. It can be used to develop younger students jazz style in a big band or small group. In an improvisation class the teacher can use the etudes as studies in improvisation. The Study Guide provides an analysis of each etude, along with practice assignments for each etude.
