Looking at More Efficient Practice on the Flute

Wye, T

Trevor Wye has an impressive catalog of pedagogical works spread through several publishers, many of which have become standard fare for beginning, advancing, and accomplished students. With Looking at More Efficient Practice on the Flute, he is pulling all of that together for a comprehensive study plan, designed to maximize the practice time required of all flutists. Wye looks at all of the components of efficient practice, from the flute itself, to the standard repertoire, to posture, to rhythmic consistency, and much, much more. Given all of the methods and studies that Wye has produced, this is the book that forms the foundation for their use. For beginners, to intermediate, to advanced.

Included is a CD with 72 improvisation basses in six sections; Renaissance & Baroque, The Masters, Extended Basses, Benson Basses, Six waltzes, and Jazzy basses.
