Download or read book The Renaissance Flute written by Kate Clark and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""The last four decades have seen a revival of interest in the renaissance transverse flute. The few collections of surviving original flutes from the sixteenth century have increasingly attracted musicologists, instrument makers, and players to examine, measure (and copy), perform and record on them. Renaissance flute workshops and summer courses attract students and amateur players in several corners of Europe every year. At the same time, renaissance manuscripts and early prints have increasingly become available on the internet, providing an ever-expanding supply of materials for flutists wanting to experience renaissance music for themselves. This handbook for renaissance flute players offers all the information needed to buy, maintain, and learn to play the renaissance flute, whether alone or in consort. It explains how to read and interpret renaissance music whether from original notation or in modern editions, how to make your own transcriptions, and how to write your own diminutions. It also introduces readers to the basics of renaissance music theory, in clear and simple language. At a time when the gap between the professional "classical" music world and its public seems to have grown irrevocably, this book aims to demystify the business of making beautiful music together. It is a key to the elegant, cylindrical flute that was played all over Europe in the age of polyphony and to the gentle art of consort playing.""--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing music can be a very rewarding and creative process, but sometimes it can be overwhelming - especially if you're new to this, or you've been told that you're not good at songwriting! When I was a kid, my piano teacher told my mom that I wasn't cut out for music. For years I listened to that false belief. Then my creativity was liberated when I started with the Native American flute. I didn't know anything about music, but I came up with my own way of writing music and capturing melodies... and it worked! That framework helped me write more than 200 songs. With this book, you'll learn how to capture those short melodies so that you can repeat what you just played, arrange your song so that you aren't mindlessly noodling, and connect your story so you have the confidence to share your music This is the secret sauce, and in this e-book, I'll show you the shortcuts to these exact tactics! Creative endeavors require good tools. That's why I've built a toolkit for you. You'll find capturing tactics, arrangement strategies, blank NAF TAB sheets, phrasing prompts and a story sheet as part of this book to help you maximize your songwriting experience. Note: This book does not address how to write the notes on that staff. Instead, we are focusing solely on finger diagrams for now. If you already read Nakai TAB you are welcome to use that feature. I will be creating a course for learning the Nakai TAB system in the future!

Download or read book Planning to Play in Tune for Flute written by Kathy Blocki and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book begins with flexibility exercises and begins with having the ability to easily bend pitches. Planning to Play in Tune offers a variety of exercises that will not only develop this flexibility, but also greatly improve core tone quality. The "Full Spectrum Tone" exercises use the concepts of polyphonic singing and apply them to flute.The Just Tuning System is explained in the second section of the book. Learning to hear difference tones is a key element of playing with excellent intonation in an ensemble. It begins with exercises that help to zero in on these quiet tones and progress to using the difference tone as a reference for being in tune. A variety of methods of training ensembles is given in the third section. I use these faithfully for warming up flute ensembles and find them to be highly effective.Of course, one the most difficult aspects of playing in tune involves the use of dynamics. An entire section of the book is dedicated to progressively mastering the art of playing in tune when tackling extreme dynamics changes.The final section applies all the concepts to the famous flute solo in Ravel's Daphnis et Chloé. The harmony is discussed so that flutists are well-informed of how to listen and adjust pitch while playing with the orchestra.
