| The primary intent of this thesis is to put together a comprehensive collection of the most important excerpts for flute from the wind band repertoire. In addition to providing detailed instructions on how to practice and perform these excerpts, the excerpts are organized into chapters dealing with specific aspects of flute playing: tone development, vibrato production, articulation, intonation, dynamics, technique, etc. In this format, not only does this collection result in an excellent source of wind band excerpts for flute, but it also functions as a supplementary progressive teaching method. |
