Flute 102: Mastering the Basics

The duo that brought us The Flute Scale Book and the acclaimed Flute 101: Mastering the Basics now expand the series with Flute 102: Mastering the Basics. For students approaching the intermediate skill level; George and Louke turn to the use of etudes; solo repertoire; and orchestral excerpts to build upon the lessons of Flute 101. Underlying the method are practicing and phrasing guides; invaluable for students and continued use thereafter.

From the authors: 'Each of the units of Flute 102: Mastering the Basics includes five separate lessons of exercises and repertoire in a major key; relative or parallel minor key; or dominant key. The theoretical exercises feature scales; thirds; arpeggios and major/minor seventh chords; rhythm studies and etudes by Barret; Gariboldi; George; Louke; Soussmann; and Wohlfahrt. The Contemporary Techniques Solos at the end of the book may be used with any lesson to enrich the flutist's study.'
