Jazz Flute Practice Method

Here is a jazz method that actually works for all types of players and it is so thorough that even Taffanel and Gaubert would be impressed!  The opening chapter on Intervals starts with chromatic intervals, scales using the tonic as a pedal point, whole tone scales and augmented arpeggios before exploring thirds, fourths, tritones etc up to sevenths. Each exercise is written out in all the twelve keys although you are encouraged to memorise each one. Symbols for chord construction are fully explained, the Blues is analysed in all keys and Chord and Scales Theory explains how to put it all together. Further study material follows and if you can grasp Chord Substitution you have really cracked it! Even if you don't actually master all the techniques included from memory in all keys in a jazz style, the exercises will inevitably increase your flute playing skills in a different way. Now that's really useful!
