Symphony No. 4 by Peter Ilyitch Tchaikovsky

A series devoted to developing the flutist’s technique of orchestral excerpts preparation through the practice of brief studies directly related to the excerpt.

Author’s Note:
The Excerpt Practice Book series grew out of my dedication to the orchestral art form, my personal journey in the orchestral world, and my love for my students. I hope it helps flutists to find the consistency and artistry to succeed in the audition process, and pursue their dreams of a fulfilling orchestral career.
