5 out of 5 stars The Art of Flute Playing - A Definite Must-Have   June 20, 2000
17 out of 17 found this review helpful

The Art of Flute Playing is a definite must-have for all aspiring flautists, young and old. As a professional for 10 years now, and a current flute teacher/tutor, I strongly recommend this book to all my students. The Art of Flute Playing covers practically every aspect of playing the flute - from the very basics to the very technical - this book caters to every level of flute playing. Even today, I constantly refer to it every once in a while. Go, buy it.


5 out of 5 stars a book for the serious student   July 4, 2006

This book is, by far, one of the best I have found on actual physiological considerations in flute playing. The author is complete in his detailed descriptions of the irksome and oft times unanswered flute challenges such as tone quality and high register issues. He provides realistic and straightforward solutions. He examines, diagnoses and treats embouchure problems like a skilled, and patient physician.

He truly shares his expertise and instruction in flute. He picks up where the local band and orchestra teacher falls short.

I am very very happy with this book. His solutions offer immediate results and this is very satisfying. Unfortunately, there are not more books out there like this one.

Most method books offer little, if any REAL flute-specific information. Rather, we are subjected to mix and match titles on generic, mass-printed pages.

The introduction pages alone, on care and selection of flute, provide more information than most 'method' books with their series and sequels combined.

This book will not bore you with more folk songs, polkas, or sing along tapes. This text finally offers some real information and instruction from an articulate and expert master of flute.

If you really want to develop as a flute player, this is a great book to have in your library.
