Description Theobald Boehm: The Flute And Flute Playing The modern flute owes its invention to the author of this 1871 musicology classic. It details the instrument's acoustics, explains techniques for establishing proportions, keying, fingering, care and repair,

This collection contains fifteen studies that make use of techniques that have been gained through previous experience, as well as offering opportunities for personal interpretation. Most aspects of flute playing have been covered in the wide range of styles presented in this book and each study requires specific skills such as fingering technique, breath control, tone quality, articulation, phrasing and dynamic contrast. The varying approaches that the composers have used provide an excellent means to broaden the musical experience of the developing flautist. This book comes with a demo CD of Franco Cesarini performing all works in their entirety.

While teaching at the Montreuil Conservatoire between 1978 and 2014 Flautist and composer Yves Queyroux developed an original and dynamic pedagogical approach. Le Fil d’Ariane [Ariadne’s Thread] provides young Flautists with many key techniques that allow them under a teacher’s guidance to create a personalised learning experience. Written in clear direct terms this learning guide gives practical tips on overcoming various obstacles in Flute-playing. In the first section sketches and photos help students become acquainted with the new instrument and adopt proper positioning. Divided into 22progressive lessons the second section teaches students how to master the emission of sound notes rhythms and registers without ever sacrificing musical expression. The technical units that make up the third section also designed for progressive learning allow for the creation of an individualised work programme that might range from polishing tone to attempting double and triple tonguing. An assorted palette of bright expressive little duos connect instrumental skill with musical expressivity. Le Fil d’Ariane isn’t just another method: this fabulous toolbox will be a precious addition to every Flautist’s inner workshop!
