Reviews'The book offers a wide-ranging summary of flute technique 'for both professional and amateur flute players' ... its very controversial style encourages experienced teachers and players to think a little more about their own assumptions. Certainly there are useful pointers in the book that mayremind one of the importance of a good fundamental technique when playing the instrument.'Rupert Sherwood, International Journal of Music, Number 20, 1992, 'The book offers a wide-ranging summary of flute technique 'for both professional and amateur flute players' ... its very controversial style encourages experienced teachers and players to think a little more about their own assumptions.
