We all know how hard it can be for littles to learn the flute—especially when they can’t make a sound! (Or when their sound is more s c r e e c h y than sparkly! ✨) But, with Goldi by their side, learning the flute can be fun and making those sparkly sounds can be easy. (So says a little flute teacher!)
GOLDI'S FIRST FLUTE SOUNDS
A method book and flute-tastic tale
Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Goldi. You may know her from the fairy tale “Goldilocks and the Three Bears”. Well, this is the lesser-known story of Goldi a few years later: The story of Goldi learning the flute—but no sooner than she makes her first flute sound, her sound disappears!
In Goldi’s First Flute Sounds, little flutists join Goldi on a hands-on musical adventure to find their sound through storytelling and play. Simply scan the QR codes throughout the book for engaging exercises and resources to help them form their embouchure, make sparkly flute sounds, and more!

GOLDI'S SONGBOOKS
When the story ends, the music begins
When you turn the last page of Goldi’s First Flute Sounds, the story may end, but the music is just beginning: With Goldi’s songbooks, little flutists can play their flutes with Goldi!
GOLDI'S FIRST FLUTE SONGBOOK
Composed with illustrations (graphic notation) rather than music notes (standard notation), Goldi’s First Flute Songbook is perfect for beginners with no musical experience (and parents who may not know how to read music!): Little flutists will practice their long and short, high and low, wavy and whirly-twirly sounds on their headjoints—and even compose their own music!
GOLDI'S SECOND FLUTE SONGBOOK
Like Goldi’s First Flute Songbook, little flutists will practice their long and short, high and low, wavy and whirly-twirly sounds on their headjoints—plus duets! But in Goldi’s Second Flute Songbook, little flutists graduate from illustrations to music notes (with blocks, coins, dice, and cards as learning tools!), making it perfect for beginners with some musical experience.
