The music of Lili Boulanger is stunning and here are all the pieces in one book. She is best known perhaps for D'un matin de printemps which is full of restless energy, and there is the beautiful Nocturne and dancing Cortège which are often paired together. Two other short vignettes make up the full collection. If you don't know any of these pieces then this a must buy purchase and it's very good value too.

Flute of the Month
Powell Sonaré PS-905BEFK Flute
This distinctive-looking flute possesses many of the tonal qualities of the PF-705 model with the addition of a 9k Aurumite barrel and upgraded Straubinger Phoenix pads. This makes for a flute with clean articulation, fast response and some of the tonal elements of a gold flute. The keywork is light and responsive thanks to the white gold springs, and of course, it looks stunning too!
Flute Essentials
Thumbport II Flute Thumb Rest, Black
The Thumbport is a revolution in holding the flute. By providing additional support and improving the balance of the instrument, it reduces strain and stress on the hands, and allows for greater freedom in finger movement. Simple to clip-on and doesn't scratch or otherwise damage the finish of the instrument. Supplied in a cloth pouch.
The Thumbport II has a lower default angle for the thumb. It's a little thicker and more rigid, has less contact with the flute and its extension arm is a little shorter (when attached to the flute, it may go into the case easier for some). The end of the extension has a more rounded shape.
Also available for piccolo. The Fingerport index-finger rest is also available.
Recommended by William Bennett, Emily Beynon and Wissam Boustany, amongst many others.
Please note that this will only fit metal flutes.
