A professional flutist shares her experiences and insights - practical advice from practice room to stage and beyond.
Written from the personal experiences of a professional flutist, Dawn's Flute Notes, Practical Advice for Flute Players from Practice Room to Stage is a look inside the real world of flute. It's a book designed to help both those who already do play flute and for those who are just contemplating flute for themselves or their children.
This book is written for:
* anyone who thinks they might want to explore playing music, particularly flute;
* anyone who already plays flute who comes to those crossroads of what to do and where to go next, and maybe wonders if they should even go there;
* parents who want to know what to expect or wonder at the wisdom (and expense) of starting their child in the art and discipline of studying music;
* those who, having put aside their instrument for long years, wonder if they can pick it back up;
* and, finally, those seeking to climb the ladder to the heights of 'renown'.
Written in three parts, Part I, What You Don't Know Can Hurt You explores the world of flute as I know it, while the highly illustrated Part II, What You Know Will Help You shares some technical knowledge that can help you and can aid you in identifying which teachers do and don't know their stuff. In Part III, Coda, I share some parting thoughts about music as a career, especially as it applies to flutists, and some end notes on why and what I did and didn't include.
For all levels of flutists, the beginner, the intermediate player, and for those thinking of maybe going on to major in music and go pro-, this book contains some eye-openers and some advice as well as practical hands-on technical knowledge. I share solutions to flute-specific problems often overlooked in standard study and give you tricks to help you avoid disaster in juries, recitals, tests, on stage in concert, and in the recording studio.
For parents, this book will give you solid idea of what to look for in a teacher and what you and your child face both in study expectations and financially while advancing through levels of proficiency.
