'Orchestral Excerpts for Flute' by Jeanne Baxtresser

Hi everyone,

In todays post I will be talking about 'Orchestral Excerpts for Flute' by Jeanne Baxtresser.


'Orchestral Excerpts for Flute' by Jeanne Baxtresser is great resource for any flute learner whose starting to explore the world of orchestral excerpts. It's also split into two volumes.

At the beginning of the first book, Jeanne explains how to use the books, as well as how to prepare and practice the orchestral excerpts, preparing for an orchestral audition, playing an orchestra and playing the orchestral excerpts with a pianist.

For each orchestral excerpt Jeanne gives you a wealth of knowledge to help you get the best out of each orchestral excerpts. Also, with some of the excerpts Jeanne has also included alternative flute finger placements. The wealth of knowledge that Jeanne has put into each orchestral excerpt is amazing, and this doesn't stop at the first book. Jeanne's knowledge carries right the way through to the second book.

If your ever in a music store, and they have this series of books; I would recommend that you take a look at these books. As there's so much wealth and knowledge within these books that I can't explain how much there's actually in these books.

I would highly recommend these books for anyone whose just starting out learning and exploring orchestral excerpts.
