Flute Zoo Book 2

Flute Zoo Book 2, By Kathy Blocki

Flute Zoo Books are the new fun, and engaging way to learn to play the flute. These books, with their bright colors and cheerful imagery, were written with elementary age flute students in mind, although we have found that older children (and even adults) love the fun songs and activities as well! Each book is between 32 and 40 pages long. So the new flutist will gain a strong sense of accomplishments as they more quickly earn their certificate for Flute Zoo book one.
