Summary of This Method
Articulation - pronunciation - is a fundamental element in flute playing: it allows one to "speak" in music with precision, clarity, and color. On the flute, articulation is created by interrupting and restarting the sound with the tongue, much like a singer breaking a melodic phrase into words. This workbook was designed to deepen these expressive possibilities, based on two series of major and minor scales, while incorporating numerous technical exercises and essential orchestral passages.
The progression is organized into six chapters. The first connects breath, tongue, and fingers around binary major and minor scales, as well as reduced-range ternary major scales (level 1 scales). The second focuses on the role of the tongue through exercises often drawn from the repertoire, with a dedicated study of the "French" détaché. The third expands the exploration of articulations on a new series of binary major and minor scales (level 2), with a wider range.
The following chapters target key skills for the flutist: gaining speed and regularity in double and triple tonguing, understanding and mastering different modes of sound attacks, then applying these skills in principal orchestral passages and a complementary study where articulation becomes the central challenge. In conclusion, "Notes for the Curious!" offers in-depth articles and insight into the evolution of articulation teaching from the 17th to the 20th centuries. The audio accompaniments mentioned in the book are accessible via the publisher's Education Space.
