Elizabeth Walker s book is surely destined to become standard text for any student of the baroque flute Any student looking for an introduction to playing the traverso need look no further than Elizabeth Walker s Baroque Flute Studies.

Elisabeth Hobbs, British Flute Society.

This is a most marvellous book. Elizabeth Walker is not only an experienced performer but she also clearly knows how to pass her knowledge on to others. There is a real understanding of the subject here and this results in a book that is easy to understand and use.
