This is a book for flute players who want to play chamber music confidently and well. It is also for flute teachers who want to get their students to playing together whether in small groups or in a flute choir.
The book starts with some exercises and studies for intonation, articulation and tone blending. Then there are pieces in two, three and four parts. Styles range from Renaissance to contemporary. Most pieces work well with either one player per part, or for flute choir.
Students from grade 4 level up to diploma level will all find pieces to challenge and develop their ensemble skills.
