Staff Pick
“A winner!”
Chris Hankin Just Flutes staff member - [email protected]
Simon Hunt's Flute Gymnastics series has a devoted following and this one is great! Subtitled Variations on Scales and Arpeggios, this smart little volume contains all sorts of exercises to help with the acquisition of good technique. The advantage here is that all the exercises are short so you can apply the different key signatures and articulations without overloading the brain. This is a huge advantage when setting this type of work for the reluctant student. Definitely a winner!
