The glittering career of Flautist James Galway extends from principal flute in the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra to the top of the music charts. This is a fabulous guide in which he covers a huge range of topics from the history of the instrument and his own success, in fact nothing is left out, he discusses and demonstrates all aspects such as playing position and practicing to performing in every situation.
A flautist at any level will find the specific advice that Galway gives invaluable, while non-flute players will gain an insight into the instrument such as the way it produces sound. This enthralling and informative volume of analysis, theory and technique is a valuable manual to introduce the Flute.
The Yehudi Mehuhin Music Guides are hugely important and twice as useful! Each one concentrates on a particular instrument from the orchestral family; giving information, background, history, and technique all by recognised and skilled musicians - experts in their field who are well placed to pass on their experience.
