The Flute Boot Camp Manual (A Universal Flute and Piccolo Guide)

Designed for flutists at all levels of experience, The Flute Boot Camp Manual is a comprehensive training experience for students, studio teachers, and band directors. This volume begins with basic flute assembly and instrument care and quickly develops to more advanced techniques, practice routines, vibrato control, managing adrenaline in audition situations, and much, much more. Musical selections for flute ensemble are included, along with complete fingering and trill charts to solve the trickiest of performance demands. And, it can be easily adapted for year-round instruction or condensed to a six-hour intensive “boot camp” experience that can transform the individual or the flute section of any concert band or marching unit. A must for the developing flutists in your ensemble.
