Dr Downing's Flute Tone-Ups - slow music for embouchre and tone development.

Beautiful slow music to develop embouchure and tone.

To get a great flute sound we all need to play long notes.

Long notes are boring - so we don't play them often enough do we?

Slow melodies are fun to play -

and a great way to perfect your flute tone.

Book 1

Flute Tone-Ups - the easy way to get a good flute tone.A4 (21cm x 29.7cm) with luxury comb binding for strength.  The book lies flat on your music stand.

Ten beautiful slow tunes.

Performance notes and technique tips for each melody.

Performance standard - easy to moderately difficult.

Peter Moore says: "In my many years of teaching, I have found that most students won't  practice long note exercises because they are so dreadfully boring.  I could not find enough interesting and challenging slow music in any one book for students to play - so we wrote "Flute Tone-Ups Book 1".

This book has ten carefully selected titles, complete with performance notes for each piece, for you to enjoy playing.  You will also develop your embouchure at the same time.  Book 2 is in preparation with even more challenging pieces".

This is what customers say:

Shirley Hartlett, retired Headmistress of Shenington School, Nr Banbury, England says:

"I get frustrated when I buy a book of music and find that I can only manage to play one or two pieces.  With Tone-Ups I can play them all!" 

Stan Barrett, retired drama teacher and semi-pro musician from Market Bosworth, England says:

"The 'Tone-Ups' are a joy to use.  Not only do they take the tedium out of long-note practice, but they are also sprinkled with technical and interpretive challenges.  The writers know where we're likely to need help.  They isolate each problem and tell us, in straightforward language, what to do about it.  Excellent."
