Blocki Flute Method Book 3 is an advanced method book designed to thoroughly prepare students for studying advanced literature. This fun and challenging book helps students master the extreme octaves in a systematic method. 1) By the end of the book, students will be able to play all major, natural and harmonic minor two octave scales and arpeggios in less than 8 minutes. 2) Each unit is packed with rhythmic exercises systematically presented to enable students to master new concepts. The 2nd ed. includes systematically learning advanced rhythms and includes quarter note triplets. Though this book contains several etudes in each unit, it serves as a bridge to using the standard etude books and solos. 3) Each unit contains an abundance of duets. Many of these duets are based on the original flute parts from famous orchestral scores including: Capriccio Espagnol's Fandango Asturaino, , Wm Tell Overture, Carmen's The Mountain Garden and Habenera, Pictures at an Exhibition: The Great Gate at Kiev, Brandenburg Concerto no. 4, and Sousa's Stars and Stripes. Other duets include the Mozart Flute Sonata no. 5, pieces from Kabalevsky's opus 24, Boccherini Minuet, La Gioconda, and the March from the Nutcracker. 4) An abundance of tone and technique practice throughout all octaves of the flute. This book is appropriate for advanced junior high and high school students and as a remedial book for college students. It also provides excellent and challenging sight-reading material for the advanced college flutist. Students will learn standard literature such as Stars and Stripes, The William Tell Overture, and etudes written in duet form.
