Trevor Wye: Complete Daily Exercises for the Flute | Flute Study and Technique Exercise Book in Standard Notation | Scales Arpeggios Warm Ups and ... and Advanced Flautists (Flute Tutor)

Great for intermediate to advanced level. Lots of different exercises, so can vary things each day. Separate articulation card which is handy for reference as you play through exercises.

As with the other Trevor Wye book, it is deadly boring. However, if you put the work in (5 hours a day), results will be seen in a few months. Highly recommended!

Daughter needed this to help her for last grading and she using this non-stop

This book is packed full of ideas for interesting tonal development. It also tests your memory by suggesting playing a passage in a different key, but without actually having any music to read (something which I'm trying to accomplish as this is one facet of a skilled musician). It's quite heavy going but there is emphasis on not rushing through it and going over passages until you have developed technique to play a beautiful sound.

The book builds on the exercises of famous flute technicians e.g. Moyse and Taffanel but is much easier to get a hold of. Publications in the Moyse Enseignement Complet de la Flûte series e.g. de la Sonorite are not easy to find and are pricey when you do. I've only just passed Grade 5 but I purchased this book on the recommendation of my teacher and I'm currently focusing on the tone exercises. So far diligent work is paying off because my teacher has noticed the improvement. I expect this book to last me many years through to Grade 8 and provide some structure to my practice, which can sometimes be a bit haphazard! Complements the Trevor Wye Practice Books which contain similar exercises but go into significantly more detail. I have those too but I use this much more

For some reason this book is only half complete! I have a full version of it and the index goes up to page 120+, but the book stops at p64! This is the second copy I’ve sent for and both were incomplete. I ordered this for a student and was disappointed.

I'm sure it's very good, but I find it hard to use.

This is simply a scale book but good to have it in one book, a must for beginners

内容としては他の練習曲集からの寄せ集め。 網羅性は良いのであるが、めくりが多いのが使いにくいところ。 見開きで一つの練習曲が終わるように工夫されているも良い

I think I'm addicted to scales. I don't know why but I just love flipping through these types of exercise books, dense with notes and accidentals and scales, and just staring at them. It's so aesthetically satisfying. And in the practice room I have to stop myself from just doing scales endlessly to work on other aspects of technique. What a problem, right? But anyways, even Trevor Wye's Practice Book omnibus isn't enough for my addiction, tons of free pdfs on IMSLP don't satisfy, so I picked this up. And it's great. Looks like it will keep me occupied forever with endless variations on scales, intervals, arpeggios, sequences, and so on. Right now, I've noticed a need to work on my third octave scales, and I know I could just mentally transpose my daily scales up an octave, but Lo and Behold there is a whole section dedicated to third octave scales here. It's much more satisfying playing the notes as they're written out. Something about all those ledger lines. It's true, most of the exercises are lifted verbatim from older sources, but he makes that clear. Some are unattributed but easily recognizable: his Section 2 Scales #7 #8 #9 are 99% the same as the famous Taffanel & Gaubert #1 #2 and #4. But again, he makes it clear that the purpose of this book is to compile all of these exercises into one volume. He gathers interesting exercises from Reichert, Maquarre, Boehm, and others. And in the case of the old French exercises, if not out-of-print they are often expensive and hard to find, so it's nice to have the content in a modern convenient edition. In addition there are plenty of his own original, interesting exercises and plenty of classic Wye commentary—hints on fingerings that improve intonation or facilitate speed are spread throughout and valuable. It's light on text, but Wye preaches elsewhere, so that's fine. It comes with a 'practice card' with some routine ideas and articulation variations, which I guess could be useful, but what would've made it really useful is printing it laminated so the student could dry-erase and re-use it. And the book is SPIRAL-BOUND, hallelujah. All music should come spiral-bound. Two points of note: (1) I don't think I've ever complained about music staff size but it's true, the whole book seems printed at 75% the standard size, like an Ossia. Two potential trouble areas are the resulting miniscule trill accidentals and quickly identifying extremely high (ledger) notes and some articulations, but since most of the exercises are scales and things you should be able to extrapolate it's not a huge problem. It is noticeable to this 28 y/o. (2) I wish there were more scale/chord annotations. For many of the scale and arpeggio exercises, you are wordlessly led through a dizzying 4-page, 32-staff exercise that changes accidentals/keys without any indication—all I want is for it to mention the key "C major" "Ab minor" etc. I know at an intermediate stage a musician should be able to recognize the keys. I might want to use the book in a cross-cutting way—quickly go through playing all the exercises in a problem key, for example, but I can't do that easily. For many of them he does indicate it, but many are not marked.

Just what I was hoping for, love the spiral binding. Very interesting exericises.. Stretch my brain and body lol.
