A Step-by-Step Approach to Styles, Phrasing and Improvisation – Book + CD
Back Cover:
Learning new things with the greatest of ease, coaxing sounds out of the flute that does not find a place in classical music, daring to play first improvisations – the jazz method by Stephanie Wagner breathes fresh air into your flute playing.
With just a little theory, and many practical examples, you will learn more about bossa nova, blues & co, about playing in a band, sound effects and the tricks of the most famous flutists in the jazz music scene. You will find instrumental pieces for two flutes in every style. All pieces are contained on the accompanying CD – for listening and playing along.
“This book is addressed to flute players who have been playing for several years and are flexible on their instrument” – Stephanie Wagner
