Simply Scales for Flute: A Guide to Using Scales in Establishing Good Sound and Technique (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798706191269)

Classic guide for flute students of all levels to establish good sound and technique using scales. Great tone and professional technique that will become second nature no matter how difficult the music. Simply Scales for Flute teaches the flutist to Listen - Isolate - Solve - Practice.
Flute scales are normally thought of as something to be learned - just play the notes. Then you are done. Even teachers are fond of saying, "learn your scales". Scales are not to be learned; they are to be used. While using scales, you will surely learn them. But that is not the point. They are an important tool to taking your skills to their highest level.
What is understood by too few is that scales are a device for fine tuning every aspect of flute playing. Just as a physician can read an EKG to diagnose a patient's heart, a musician can use scales to diagnose problems with tone, articulation, fingering, phrasing and more. One of the differences between casual and advanced musicians is the daily use of scales to find, diagnose and fix problems.
In this edition, the author has updated and expanded the study to include 50 pages of scale studies and a guide to advanced practice, posture, tone production and fingering.
