Summary of This Method
Exercises for Advancing Playersis a collection of exercises intended for recorder players already comfortable with the instrument and looking to reach a new technical level. The approach aims for solid progress in finger coordination, articulation (clear attacks, phrasing regularity), and breathing, while seeking real gains in speed and endurance.
Designed for daily practice, these exercises can be worked on in sections or as a complete program. Unless otherwise indicated, interpretation is recommended legato then staccato, to balance fluidity, precision, and attack control. A motivating principle accompanies the collection: compare the execution time to a quantified target (in seconds) indicated at the end of each exercise, then progressively aim to complete the entire set within the prescribed time.
Beyond pure technique, the book encourages a musical approach: each study has its own structure, whether melodic, rhythmic, or harmonic. By identifying these elements, the musician transforms the work into a true assimilation of the language, gaining freedom and expression. The order and construction of the exercises are based on extensive pedagogical experience and particularly emphasize extending practice to the complete chromatic ambitus of the recorder, to meet the demands of modern music.
