Simply Flute

Covering the ‘Four Pillars of Technique’, in each PAWP session, chosen topics will be worked on, the continuous practice times ranging from 15 minutes to one hour in length. We will play the exercises together, providing you with the opportunity of listening and of practicing in a methodical and uninterrupted way. We won’t be stopping for coffee breaks…ever! These are ‘workouts’. From time to time and when appropriate, there will be the chance to play duets with me at the end of a section, where that other essential area of our music making, harmony, can also be explored, worked on and in turn nourished.

The delightful and effective pieces to be found in Gallay Studies, Opus 13, once transcribed, can be just as relevant to flute players as they are to horn players. By exploring repertoire originally intended for other instruments, our core repertoire is expanded and we are exposed to different styles and approaches. The purpose of any good book of studies surely is to help us on our journey with our respective instrument.
