In this episode, I’m reviewing some books that I’ve found useful to introduce students to extended flute techniques and contemporary performance practice.

Here’s a list of the books I talk about in the episode (Note – this is not sponsored in any way – these are just materials that I’ve found interesting and helpful!)

I’d love it if you’d taie a short survey about your interest in an upcoming workshop!

And join the discussion at The Flute Suite on Facebook! I’d love to hear what books you are using in your practice or teaching studio!

Laura Lentz has given us a new book: The Modal Flute Warmup: Sound Discovery and Color Palette Expansion where she revisits and expands a classic Sam Baron exercise to introduce classical flutists to All the modes, encouraging exploration and discovery.

In this conversation, Laura presents her book, and we talk about the importance of finding space in our practice and teaching to allow for discovery.

Hi everyone! An update during the last few days of my summer break on things I've been thinking about, and a little on plans for the future.

I talk in this episode a little about my second passion - photography - and if you're interested in seeing some of my images, you can find them on instagram at kathyweidenfeller (no flute!)

I'd love to hear from you! The Flute Suite is on Instagram and Facebook, as am I, kathy weidenfeller, flutist or visit www.kathyweidenfeller.com
