How to Practice Flute Technique - Trevor Wye Scale Exercises

Always with a metronome. A metronome, when on, is a hard thing to ignore. Play with metronomic, machine-like accuracy. Always nice to add some expression to finger work, but don't sacrifice good hand position, refined muscle movement in the fingers, keeping light finger action and your best tone. If you find that getting the low notes to speak at first is a problem, play a half note or whole note first and tie it over to the start of this exercise.

Did you say page 60? I’m looking at my TW technique book and it doesn’t even have 60 pages!

[@drstephanierea]

Good question! Yes, page 60 in the Practice Books 1 - 6 that are published as one volume. Sorry, I no longer have the single Technique volume that I had many years ago, but they are the same exact exercises in all editions. The Scale Exercises in major are after the Daily Exercises in major (and help work out the trouble spots....you'll see corresponding letters and numbers at the end of most lines of the Daily Exercises that refer to these Scale Exercises). I hope I'm remembering all the names correctly there.....not looking at them right now. Happy practicing :)

⁠thanks so much. I’ll find it. I’ve never understood what those letters and numbers are at the end of the line?

I can't play with a metronome, it's way too distracting 😶.
