Introducing the Nuvo WindStars 1 mixed class set of Doods and Toots

Get Nuvo into your classroom with this set of Doods and Toots. Suitable for children as young as 5, Doods and Toots are a great way to get young students started playing woodwind. A natural next step for a child playing the recorder, the Dood is a great way to introduce single-reed skills, whilst the Toot provides a bridge for players taking their first steps towards playing a flute.

Following the Nuvo trend, the both the Dood and Toot are pitched in C so can be easily integrated with your Nuvo orchestra, and also makes it compatible with all WindStars education resources!

What is Nuvo WindStars?

Written by Brittany Bauman and edited by Robert Sheldon, the WindStars Series is a simple, effective, and affordable way for elementary school kids to experience the joy of playing music together. Through WindStars, children learn to play a musical instrument and develop a life-long love of music at an early age. WindStars is a 3-level, book based program with supporting materials including videos, backing tracks and print files available to download for free at Nuvo WindStars. The instructional videos are also available on the WindStars YouTube channel.

Designed to support teachers

The WindStars curriculum has been completely designed with teachers in mind, even if the teacher is not a woodwind or brass specialist – the teacher book and website will tell you everything you need to know! This flexible general music teaching method can be adapted to work alongside any existing music program, or as a standalone complete package. The methodology takes a standards-based, whole child approach with a focus on engaging and joyful musical experiences coupled with transferable instrumental skills which will be useful in later musical life.

WindStars 1: The first of the series

Designed for ages 5-9, with an emphasis on Sound Before Sight. Level 1 books are written for the Dood and Toot instruments. Written for the general music classroom, level one encourages students to learn by ear as much as possible. This level is available in either standard or iconic notation.
