by Stefan Keller Improvisation breaks through all language barriers and enables us to have a dialogue about our instrument, solo, in a duo, in a trio, etc.. This does not require any previous knowledge, only the willingness to enter new territory. I am talking about free improvisation with no rules. However, a few agreements help to prevent the whole…

di Monica Moroni Il flauto basso è in chiave di C, intonato una ottava sotto il flauto da concerto. Anche se il nome fa pensare ad un suono cupo,la sua gamma di esecuzione lo rende come un tenore nella famiglia dei flauti. Esso è lungo circa 146 cm e la testata è di solito realizzata a forma di U…
By Snježana Pavićević Zašto bi svaki flautista trebalo da svira i piccolo? Piccolo flauta je najmanji instrument iz porodice flauta. Ali, iako mali veličinom, zahteva veliku posvećenost I pažnju želimo li od njega dobiti ono najbolje.

by Enrico Sartori When I talk about intermediate flute students I refer to those who had regular flute lessons for a semester or one year, learned all the positions of the first two octaves, some positions of the third (up to a G at least) and can play some easy repertoire.
