This book is perfect for any developing flute player who is more interested jazz rather than the classics. It could easily sit alongside a tutor book as the note ranges used are very similar and it will open out rhythmic skills with the tied notes and offbeats that characterise the style. The score includes chord symbols which could be useful for introducing some simple improvisation and as the blues is ever popular the book is very appealing. Simple but effective.
This set of 15 tunes for flute follows the already successful Easy Blues Tunes for clarinet, saxophone and trumpet. This book was winner in the American National Flute Association’s Newly Published Music Competition 2002. Includes chord symbols.
