The first volume of the Complete Flute Method by Giuseppe Gariboldi this edition has been reviewed and edited by Jan Merry. The finger positions articulations and breathing have been added to the method where necessary as well as some helpful advice has been included. This particularly melodic method starts with some theory basics and covers all beginner needs such as scales rhythms and trills among others using some small studies or exercises. Even though most of the Flute now uses the Boëhm method the book has kept the old eight?key Flute tablatures. This volume of Complete FluteMethod is completed by a second volume also available at Alphonse Leduc. Giuseppe Gariboldi (1833-1905) is an Italian flautist and composer who wrote numerous pieces for Flute. Most of his study books are still used to teach the Flute including '20 Little studies Op. 132' or 'Daily exercises Op. 89'.

Methode Elementaire en deux volumes-La flûte imaginative is a Flute method for beginners in two volumes written by Éric Ledeuil (born 1970) a performer composer conductor and a professor. The method also contains a CD that will help to play with a Piano accompaniment on some melodies. This first part of La flûte imaginative will teach the Flute beginner to produce the sound to play notes and then melodies with rhythms. Commented exercises along the book will help to get the right positioning to obtain the right sound. Some workshops to develop creativity and get more familiar with composition are also part of this method. La flûte imaginative is a really complete method that will help all beginners to get through the first learning stages.

Francais - Anglais - Allemand-Published in 1934 and written by the French flautist and composer Marcel Moyse (1889-1984) De la Sonorité proposes a method to acquire a beautiful sonority on the Flute. Created for the use of advanced flautists the exercises should give a means to the players to transform their sounds and obtain a different and better tone. De la Sonorité is divided into five parts: 1. Timbre and homogeneity of tone in the 3 registers 2. Suppleness of tone (especially in the low register) 3. Attacking and slurring notes 4. Fullness of tone 5. Management of tone in interpretation Considered as a maestro by some musicians Marcel Moyse has composed many Flute methods and exercise books such also published by Alphonse Leduc such as Gammes et Arpèges (1933) Exercices Journaliers (1922) and Mécanisme-Chromatisme (1927). His methods are widely used and recognised worldwide.

Cette Méthode de Luth Baroque peut vous donner les bases techniques et musicales nécessaires à l’obtention d’une structure assez solide et complète du jeu du luth baroque. Et c’est là tout l’enjeu et le défi de l’écriture de cet ouvrage : donner, au plus grand nombre de passionnés, l’opportunité de s’exprimer à travers le luth baroque, et ce, indépendamment de leur niveau d’apprentissage. Notre livre est destiné non seulement à celui qui n’a jamais joué d’un instrument de musique, mais aussi au guitariste avisé qui veut s’initier aux mystères du luth baroque ! Mode d’emploi Notre Méthode de Luth Baroque est divisée en trois parties. La première partie, plutôt théorique, aidera à mieux comprendre la façon de jouer la musique écrite pour le luth baroque. Nous avons jugé indispensable d’avoir des connaissances élémentaires de solfège occidental mais aussi de la tablature (forme de notation musicale spécifique au luth). Ces connaissances, insuffisantes si étudiées de manière isolée, ont été enrichies d’un lexique des pièces instrumentales ainsi que de biographies de la plupart des compositeurs de musique pour luth baroque à 11 et 13 chœurs. En deuxième partie, nous avons dédié tout un chapitre à l’étude de la technique et de la production sonore du luth. Riche en photos et détails de toutes les étapes techniques que nous devrons franchir, ce chapitre est, sans aucun doute, le plus important de toute notre Méthode pour bien comprendre l’univers sonore du luth baroque ! Ensuite, nous vous proposons 21 exercices, tous d’un niveau élémentaire, mais progressifs, accompagnés de plusieurs pièces de musique. Vous allez d’abord jouer des mélodies pour ensuite ajouter les basses, et seulement après commencer à jouer les ornements. En troisième partie, nous avons choisi près de 250 pièces pour luth baroque à 11 et 13 chœurs. Ces pièces, divisées en trois niveaux, sont d’un degré de difficulté qui s’échelonne du niveau « débutant », « moyen » à « avancé ». Nous avons, tout comme à l’époque baroque, séparé ces pièces selon leurs tonalités et leur nom. Aussi, nous n’avons choisi que très peu de tonalités différentes, afin que le luthiste débutant puisse travailler l’essentiel de son instrument, au lieu de perdre son temps à essayer de s’accorder tout le temps et de jouer des morceaux bien trop complexes pour son niveau. Il n’y a pas de mauvaise musique mais, parfois, il y a de mauvais musiciens ! Faire de la musique n’est simplement pas jouer des notes et réaliser quelques acrobaties, souvent sans intérêt. Un musicien « mûr » se plaît le plus souvent à jouer une simple mélodie et à jouir des merveilles sonores de son instrument ! Nous espérons que cette méthode pourra aider ceux qui n’ont pas accès à un professeur (même si nous leur conseillons d’aller en voir un le plus régulièrement possible), mais aussi tous les professeurs n’ayant pas suffisamment de matériel pour faire travailler, d’une manière systématique, leurs élèves. Bon courage à tous ! Miguel Yisrael - formerly Miguel Serdoura, now carrying the surname of his mother - was born in Lisbon, where he began his musical and artistic career, earning his Diploma in Classical Guitar in 1994. In 1995, he moved to Paris, where he studied the lute with Claire Antonini in the Early Music Department of the Conservatoire Supérieur de Paris - CNR. He also took part in several master classes in his discipline, with Rolf Lislevand and other prestigious artists. From 1999 to 2004, he completed his musical education at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Basel, Switzerland with the grand maestro Hopkinson Smith. As a soloist, Miguel Yisrael has given recitals in France, Portugal, United-Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, China and USA. In 2000, he took part in a television documentary devoted to the lutenist Hopkinson Smith, broadcast by Arte, Mezzo, Classica, RTBF and TSR. He currently lives and teaches baroque and renaissance lute in Paris, where he gives frequent concerts/lectures in the framework of the “Musicien au Musée” program of the Musée de la Musique - Cité de la Musique in Paris. Miguel Yisrael performs on lutes built by Cezar Mateus, Princeton, USA, and with strings from Mimmo Peruffo, Vicenza, Italy. He recorded his first solo CD for the Dutch Label Brilliant Classics in 2008.

A fresh approach-Flute Sight-Reading 1 aims to establish good practice and provide an early introduction to the essential skill of sight-reading. Sight-reading in some form should become a regular part of a student's routine each time they get out the flute and this book aims to establish the habit early in a student’s learning process. There are 8 sections which in a logical sequence gradually introduce new notes rhythms articulations dynamics and Italian terms - much as you would find in a beginner's flute method. The emphasis is on providing idiomatic tunes and structures rather than sterile sight-reading exercises. Each section contains several solo examples beginning withonly three notes and concludes with duets and accompanied pieces allowing the student to gain experience of sight-reading within the context of ensemble playing.

Georges Lambert's philosophy in creating the Methode De Flute was that learning this instrument should be a source of pleasure and fun. For this reason this method has been divided into practicaland enjoyable courses.  First comes a discovery of the Flute and learning how to breathe properly then a series of games helps keep enjoyment and learning intertwined. After this notes are explored inpractice pieces before a speed reading game that will help to develop the finger reflexes. New rhythms are integrated a composition and auditory game is introduced before finally improvisation is brought to the fore.
