Complete Daily Exercises for the Flute. Essential Practice Material for all intermediate and advanced flautists (Flute Tutor)

Great for advancing players working on technique
The book builds on the exercises of famous flute technicians e.g. Moyse and Taffanel but is much easier to get a hold of. Publications in the Moyse Enseignement Complet de la Flûte series e.g. de la Sonorite are not easy to find and are pricey when you do.I've only just passed Grade 5 but I purchased this book on the recommendation of my teacher and I'm currently focusing on the tone exercises. So far diligent work is paying off because my teacher has noticed the improvement.I expect this book to last me many years through to Grade 8 and provide some structure to my practice, which can sometimes be a bit haphazard!Complements the Trevor Wye Practice Books which contain similar exercises but go into significantly more detail. I have those too but I use this much more

Incomplete book
For some reason this book is only half complete! I have a full version of it and the index goes up to page 120+, but the book stops at p64! This is the second copy I’ve sent for and both were incomplete. I ordered this for a student and was disappointed.

Highly recommended, but you have to be prepared to put the work in!
As with the other Trevor Wye book, it is deadly boring. However, if you put the work in (5 hours a day), results will be seen in a few months. Highly recommended!

for the serious flautist.
I'm sure it's very good, but I find it hard to use.

Not for beginners!
Not really for beginners but it gives me something to work towards. I will probably have to shelve this until I am at least grade 5 level.

Three Stars
This is simply a scale book but good to have it in one book, a must for beginners

Lots and lots of exercises!
This book is packed full of ideas for interesting tonal development. It also tests your memory by suggesting playing a passage in a different key, but without actually having any music to read (something which I'm trying to accomplish as this is one facet of a skilled musician). It's quite heavy going but there is emphasis on not rushing through it and going over passages until you have developed technique to play a beautiful sound.
