The Simple Flute: From A to Z
Description
Drawing from his highly praised French work, Une simple flute, distinguished
flutist and teacher Michel Debost has compiled a useful and imaginative
introduction to playing the flute. This alphabetically arranged compendium of
advice and insight covers essential topics such as breathing, articulation,
and tone, but also explores “jawboning,” “finger phrasing,” “the little
devils,” and other quirky and vexing aspects of flute playing. Full of
practical advice on technique and axioms that lend moral support during tough
practice sessions, The Simple Flute will be a welcome addition to any serious
or novice flutist’s library. In addition, the book includes original exercises
such as “Debost’s Scale Game,” making it an excellent resource for flute
teachers. Debost concludes each essay with “In a nutshell” and “Please refer
to” boxes that make the book easy to browse, dog-ear, and return to again and
again. Offering concise, common-sense solutions for flutists of all levels,
this book is an ideal reference guide on flute performance. Read more
