Synopses & Reviews
"Each of the musical works has a duet part so the teacher can accompany the student with steady rhythm, good pitch, and interpretive guidance. Fingering and trill charts are provided for flutes of up to 13 keys. The progressive and thoughtful organization of this method makes it useful to teachers of any model of transverse flute--useful even with beginning students." --The Flute Network
Jean-Louis Tulou's 1855 method for playing the pre-Boehm wooden flute and an excellent source of early nineteenth-century French performance practices.
