A broad repertoire of study material covering a wide range of basic technique and providing a firm foundation for progress. Suitable for beginners starting with simple tunes and gradually becoming more difficult as the book progresses. There are also some pieces suitable for exam preparation.

A collection of pieces all carefully selected and arranged to provide supplementary material for today's young flautists. Each piece offers suggestions and guidelines to breathing dynamics and tempo together with technical tips performance notes and a simple but effective piano accompaniment. Contains a variety of musical styles ranging from folk and classical through to showtunes and popular songs.

Le Petit Ane Blanc is a famous piece initially composed by Jacques Ibert (1890-1962). Arranged by the French flautist Marcel Moyse and part of the set called 'Stories' this piece is the second one in the list of six. Rated as medium its scores lasts 2 pages for Flute and 4 for Piano. Jacques Ibert (1890-1962) a neoclassical composer who won the Prix de Rome in 1919 also composed many symphonic suites operas and seven orchestras including 'Angelique' (1926) and 'Entertainment' (1930). He was also in charge of the Accadémie de France in the Villa Médicis (Roma) and was later administrator for the ParisOpera.

Flute Friction is a series of flute duets in three books aimed at flautists from grade 1 to 8. 15 Flute duets. 10 Flute Trios.In this first book in the series ten flute trios are also included which teachers will find particularly profitable when working with small groups although the main emphasis in this series is on the interaction between two players similar in standard. In many cases each part is given equal importance so it is the ease with which players can shift from pole position to a more supporting role and back again that poses the principle challenge. Elsewhere the spoils are slightly less equitably carved up and again teachers willquickly gauge for themselves which pieces best suit the abilities and personalities of their students. If teachers can get their students to learn both parts in each piece then in a sense the books immediately double in value!I like to think of these pieces as being useful from a number of viewpoints and would suggest using them in a variety of ways not exclusively as light relief at the end of lessons. Duets are an excellent way of improving sight-reading to be sure as well as building confidence and assertiveness. But at least as importantly they nurture that most underestimated of skills listening without which musical accomplishment is doomed to certain failure. If the teacher is limited in pianistic ability then duets offer a much needed chance for students to play in a small ensemble setting which is the first stage to being able to 'hold a line' in a wind band or orchestra.Above all perhaps the sheer joy of being part of a 'winning team' can hardly be overestimated; played well a duet is greater than the sum of its parts and may well have the potential to please in a concert setting. The business of matching intonation is of course especially important in duets and similarly taking breaths in suitable places is critical to the way an audience understands the overall musical texture.Balance
