The Purr-fect Guide to the TooT Flute

A playful first step on the flute journey – for the very youngest The Purr-fect Guide to the TooT Flute is a colourful and pedagogically well-designed beginner method for young children, starting as early as ages 4–5. Through vibrant illustrations, original songs and an imaginative animal theme, young flutists are invited to explore the world of music with curiosity and joy from the very first note. The book is specially designed for the TooT flute – a beginner instrument with silicone keys and two interchangeable mouthpieces, making it easy for small hands to start playing. It can also be used in both recorder classes and traditional flute lessons. The material progresses in small, clear steps, enriched with musical games, theory, rhythm exercises, breathing practice, and music reading. Author and flute educator Anne Fontenay combines musical quality with pedagogical creativity. Her approach is rooted in years of teaching experience at Høje-Taastrup Music School and The Royal Danish Academy of Music – along with a strong dedication to the youngest learners.
