I’m so happy to have a new video from my favorite RUclipsr/Flutetuber! Thanks for posting! I have that book and am excited to go and play the exercises. ❤😊
You have the best lessons and always add value with each episode. Thank you for keeping my practice time interesting and revisiting so many important topics that are timeless, but sometimes forgotten.
What a fabulous video April❢ Beautiful sound❣ So useful and interesting. Love and enjoy it very much. Your lesson is always clear. I understand everything thanks. Keep up your great work. Have a wonderful weekend. All the best. 👍👍👍Your friend Satoru
Thanks so much for your inspiring pedagogy. I’ve really missed you. You’re the best of all the RUclips flute instructors I’ve had as a self taught student. Please keep it going!
First of all, I can’t stop playing back these incredible performances! They don’t even sound like exercises but rather an extension of your voice! Are there books like this one that are more for beginners that I can purchase?
Loved the video! When practicing these, would you recommend going through all the keys of each exercise before moving to the next one or practicing a few keys from all of the exercises to work your way through?
Thank you! I don't always practice these the same way. But as a short answer: most typically I play something like a page from each, then start the next exercise on the key where I left off - so I get through maybe 1/3 to 1/2 of each exercise before moving along, and I end up playing something in all keys maybe 3-4 times. I hope that makes sense! 😅
Dear April, How do you recommend practicing these exercises? Would you say one should do all of them in one day or rather pick one or two and switch everyday or every second day?
That's a very good question! It definitely depends on the student/flutist, how long they've been working on these exercises, how long they have to practice each day, etc. When I warm up with this book, I tend to do some of all seven exercises. I might do about a page of each one. Often I will start with C major, but then as I go through the 7 exercises continue through the circle of fifths as well - so, maybe start number one with C major, then when I move on to number two I might be to something like D-flat major, then I might start number three with A major, then by number four I might be a bit past C major again to B-flat or E-flat, etc... I hope that makes sense!!
Those are some pretty interesting exercises for flute!
Lovely thank you. If I can one day play my scale runs half as evenly and smoothly as you do I would be very happy. Please keep posting.
Thanks so much! And RUclips gives me the comment suggestion of, "You can do it!" 🙂👍
Your flute exerecises are very useful ! Kiss from Orny Leo !

That's great to hear, thanks for the nice comment!
Perfect, another recommendation from Flute Tube!
It’s one of my favorites! This one, T&G, and Walfrid Kujala’s Vade Mecum. They’re all so thorough!
Fabulous video April! Amazing presentation and flute demonstrations as always... Love your teaching series, my dear friend.❤👍👍👏👏👏👏
Thanks so much for stopping by! Happy Friday the 13th! 🙂
Thanks for reinforcing the importance of playing/practicing in keys we don't like... (as a pianist, I'm talking to you, E major.... lol)!
Great video, April and beautiful musical playing of these etudes. Bravo.
Many thanks, Jeanne! :)

Beautiful performance 👏 ❤️ 💖
Thanks so much, I appreciate it!
Ohh I might try some of these myself (on violin) 😊 Just don't like the 8va sign.. Prefer it written out in ledger lines

Certainly no easy stuff, but you play as if it's easy ;)
Thanks so much! Not easy stuff, but essential stuff! :)
You are looking so beautiful my dear friend I really enjoy here
Very good book. "Flute Players' Bible" is still the Bible however! 👼🤣
Sure! 😆
