Exercises for mastering the art of Articulation for Eloquent and Expressive Flute Playing
Author: Philippe Bernold
Format: Book with Audio Online
Languages: French, English
Instrumentation: Flute

Explore the many possibilities of expression through two series of major and minor scales as well as several exercises and orchestral excerpts.
The book is divided in six chapters:
