From the Publisher

This book is meant for professionals, students and amateur flutists alike. I offer it to all as a companion that invites more pleasure and vitalilty into our daily practice. It is my firm belief that by aligning ourselves with our love of music and it's energizing patterns each day - from the very first moment we pick up the instrument - we will bring more ease and focus into our lifelong task of staying in shape. This in turn will support the heightened inspiration we want to take into rehearsals and performances. Enjoy!
