It is with great enthusiasm that The Royal Conservatory presents Overtones: A Comprehensive Flute Series. It is hoped that this groundbreaking series will address the need for a single collection of quality educational materials to foster musical development and instill appreciation of the richness and diversity of music written for flute. The series is built on the premise of nurturing well-rounded musicianship, giving teachers and students everything they would expect in a comprehensive pedagogical resource along with a chance to explore their potential, push their boundaries, and broaden their horizons. Each piece has been carefully selected to ensure an expansive representation of musical styles from all eras. Students will encounter standard repertoire from well-known composers as well as exciting contemporary works from North America and around the world.

"Flute Technique" has been designed to assist students in building a technical foundation gradually and logically from the very first level of study through to the advanced stages of musical development. The technical exercises are selected and organized to complement the repertoire, studies, and orchestral excerpts that students are learning at the same level, and to prepare adequately for the challenges of the next level. By studying the material for their level over the course of the year, students should find that they are well prepared to meet these challenges.
