Flute Gymnastics Workbook, Vol 2

From the Publisher

In presenting this book I wish to introduce to the flautist in the ealier stages of learning to play the idea of serious technical practice. There are in existence many useful exercises for the more advanced player. My hope is that these exercises will encourage the pupil to work in such a way that will make easier and more enjoyable the foundation of a good technique. For this reason they are short and writtern our in eighth notes. of course they shoudl supplement a good flute method or tutor and be used under the guidance of a teacher.

Our Description

The Flute Gymnastics Workbooks provide short technical exercises to develop the pupil's control of tone, breathing and fingers. They are meant to supplement the usual simple diet of scales, study and pieces. An approachable way to achieve a broader technique.

Contents

In each key:

1. A slow melodic exercise to establish a good sound for working
2. An octave exercise for the flexibility of the lips, and to promote an awareness of intonation
3. Technical exercises on scales, arpeggios and various intervals
4. Melodic exercises to help control and extend the breathing, followe by the application to a melody
5. A more extended passage of greater difficulty, taken from Dressler's New and Complete Instruction for the Flute Op 68.
