I had lessons from Trevor Wye in 1972 in Canterbury,England,during William Beneth flute seminary.

[@drmalone]

When I took up the flute, more than 30 year ago, Trevor Wye's books were my early guides. I've taken several breaks from flute playing over the years and when I return, they continue to be my guides. My favorite quote from his earliest books is, "Possession of this book will not make you a great flutist." I have quoted him countless times and have applied this wisdom to any worthy endeavor.

[@BronzehorseN]

"Time, Patience and Intelligent Work". A+++

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+Phillip Warren 👍👍

[@chrishiggins8387]

I also love in the high register exercises it adds understanding neighbors. 😂

[@kiaraeijo]

My last flute teacher, she was a piccolo specialist( she plays third flute/piccolo with Miami Symphony) and she recommended the Trevor Wye Piccolo practice book ( I love it!). She was also big on Taffanel and Gaubert along with the Andersen etudes. The teacher that I studied with during the first part of my undergrad ( she plays second flute with Miami Symphony) was big on the Marcel Moyse small melodies and the Melodious and Progressive books. Another teacher that I took a lesson with ( She's the principal flutist of Palm Beach Opera and Miami City Ballet) recommended to me the Maquarre seven daily exercises( I got the book about a month ago and I love it).😃❤

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+Kiara Eijo Hahaha, that's so awesome, every teacher has their holy grail books, and it's always awesome to hear why they love them! 😊

[@kiaraeijo]

JustAnotherFlutist It's always good to see what etude books people like 😃

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

Hey guys! Keep those comments rolling in! I've got a busy day ahead of me, but I WILL get to your comments sometime this weekend! :D Thanks so much for the support guys, it always brightens my Saturdays when I see you guys commenting right when I post! :D

[@ManuelJoao3105]

Hey JustAnotherFlutist ! Just out of a curious note, at the amazon.es , the 1-5 ( around 60€ ) volumes are pricier than the ones at 1-6 ( around 24€ )

[@abbywalker8041]

It's because the Books 1-5 Edition is the old edition and is out of print, I'm pretty sure! Just get the Books 1-6 Edition and save some $! I don't think any of the exercises in the new edition are different than any of the ones in the old edition.

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+Manuel João Likely it's because they are starting not to print the older edition, and therefore it's becoming rare!

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

ALSO, HI ABBY

[@thaovu916]

I died laughing at the "demented banshee" got me so much...lol. But thank you for these books! I wouldn't had been able to play the all state etude without them!

[@lars8768]

As soon as you started reading the part about catching the train, I realized that I already have parts of his book. My flute teacher had copied it for me years ago when I was struggling with my tone quality. I used to hate these exercices, but I have recently started to use them for my practice sessions again. Even as an advanced flutist, you can still benefit from these exercices.

[@cathyyue5922]

You should write a book! It'll be my holy grail😉

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

Hahaha, the idea has crossed my mind... 😛

[@yorkiel7446]

JustAnotherFlutist OMG IF U EVER WRITE A BOOK I NEED IT SO BAD

[@siena88]

Yes, please do!!! I'd pre-order!! 😁

[@ryanmikalson]

I bought mine during a flute lesson with Joanna, and I have NEVER regretted the purchase! Since I'm primarily learning on my own these books are INDISPENSABLE!!!!!

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

HI RYAN

[@ryanmikalson]

HI JO! ;) I agree girl! These books are so worth! Like OMG so worth!

[@MohawkGaymer]

"... like a demented banshee." LOL!!!!

[@aismith1993]

for Oboe, it's the Barrett Method book. Never had a good flute book, but I will try to get the Trevor Wye books since you recommend it. Your videos really help me along my musical journey

[@roxfox99]

His books are hardCORE but, they turned me into the great player and "Ultimate Band Fairy" I was back in middle school and HS! I haven't picked up the precioussss ( lol 😋) in about 20 years but decided to hold myself fast to practicing all the time once again... These books with definitely be in tow!! Fluters UNITE!! 😎💕✨🤘

[@samphibious1]

Clarinet player here! for teaching, everyone reads Ridenour's "The Educator's Guide to the Clarinet" as for playing, Cyrille Rose's 2 Etude books are our Bible. If you're in high school or in a doctoral program you'll be studying these etudes!

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+samphibious1 Been hearing a lot about the Rose! So cool!!

[@plantmom6177]

i really want these books for christmas! i’m looking at books because i really want to improve and this is extremely helpful! thank you!

[@HippitusHoppitus]

I've been watching a lot of your videos. I'm in high school playing the flute in band and I was really inspired by all your content. Please keep making these videos! I really enjoy them.

[@jessicajennings1244]

I love your videos Joanna! You are so helpful, thank you. 😊🙏

[@carmenfreeman693]

I bought his book with CD too. You are a brilliant instructor. Thank you. 😊 🙏

[@ginaooi6522]

Exactly what I was looking for. Love your videos, tips and tutorials.

[@mysticflutist4697]

I found the same exact book (the one that has 6 books in it) at Barnes and Nobles for only $15.99!

[@nicole-pe6vl]

For clarinet, it's the Klosé "Celebrated Method for the Clarinet" and the Rose etudes

[@juliyanmartinez3785]

Booksandsuch thank you

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+Booksandsuch Oh boy, lots of people are naming that one too! 😊

[@kiaraeijo]

Booksandsuch I know a lot of Clarinetists and they all mention the Rose Etudes

[@valkyrie_592]

nicole havent heard of that one yet

[@astridderoeck800]

Ever since I got this book, my flute playing improved soooo much. I love it! My teacher recommanded the articulation book and that's how it all started :)

[@juniorwiley8860]

Hey, thanks! I'm an adult learned on flute but not on saxophone, and your suggestions are always spot on. I'm getting a copy of this as it sounds like what I'm really looking for.

[@Bluna008]

Tone-Yoga - how nice! I startet again playing flute after 20 years and want to thank you for your useful tips and the wonderful entertainment... Hope you will continue making your amazing videos for a long time!

[@Soulsister1363]

Hi! I just received my Trevor Wye book. I ordered from Amazon. Can't wait to incorporate it in my practice

[@freyasage8981]

I bought the 6th book a couple of weeks ago - wowwww it has seriously worked miracles for my playing!!

[@eva123me]

Thanks for the advise. You are a?great and interesting teacher. I am teaching myself. So your tips are most helpful.

[@Nymeria0]

I have studied and trained from the old TW Tone book signed by Trevor himself from a LOOOONG time ago. So glad to have found this video and inspired me to get the rest of Trevors book.

[@ellistea1024]

Wow - I never knew about these books until recently. I’m embarrassed to say my age, but let’s say I started playing over a half CENTURY ago. Picking up the flute after a long, long absence just to play here and there at church I might not need to drill and go back and learn, but nope, I’d like to play at my capacity, even in my dotage. Hail Mr. Wye. And thank you so much for this video explaining how to use them.

[@Wilma1529]

Joanna, for your complexion, start taking Colloidial Silver, Silver Wings 15 PMM. (I use "7 Lights" google) Always buy in glass bottle, not plastic. Use spray pump. 1. Wash face with Colloidial Soap. (Amazon) 2. Then "Bragg" Apple Cider Vinegar. Pat vinegar on face to dry. Also with juice (10 oz's) in the morn, drink a shot glass full before rating. 3. Spray your face with Colloidial Silver. (Carry 4 oz in your purse.) Now, lay off the sweets, stop taking medz (Stay a way from doctors) and lay off the foundation until the skin breaths back to normal complexion. Keep this up and the miraculous will appear (Have i got a story to tell you.) What does your diet consist of??? I'll keep in touch. Jo

[@leahgrows]

I loved this video oh my gosh!!!!!!!!!💗💗💗

[@darylseitz2021]

Trevor Wye is hilarious! Thanks for including his video.

[@siena88]

Excellent video.

[@Soulsister1363]

Brilliant!!! Purchasing them now!!!

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

HURRAY!! You'll love them!!

[@jessicagibson3865]

I just ordered one of these sort of sight-unseen. After watching this I'm very anxious for it to show up!

[@dr.prakasharumugam4086]

Thanks for sharing your thought on Trevor Eye's flute method books.

[@billcarlin4466]

Yet another example of "it's a small world". Over the past 2 weeks I have been taking classes from Jonathon Landell and one of the other students was Julian Rose. For being in the biz for 5-ish years, he had some phenomenal knowledge of flutes and their makers and Julian & Jonathon were chatting way over my head about a vast who's-who in the flute world. I was asking Julian for some advice on getting lessons given my bat-guano-crazy work schedule and he pointed you out as an internet source. I found you and your endorsement of the Trevor Wye book that Amazon Prime put in my hands by the time I returned home. Your relationship with FCNY prompted me to check them out and I decided to search out Julian (I didn't remember his last name at that point) and read his amazing bio. I'm lovin' your stuff. Keep it up! Peace!

[@irisj7364]

I use the Trevor Wye Piccolo Practice Book...SO GOOD!

[@anhhuydo7147]

Loving the lighting and all that good stuff!!

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+Anhhuy Do Aw, thanks! Still working on it 😊

[@markuspeters7537]

I've been watching these videos for at least a year now although I didn't play the flute. Now I got one a month ago and I'm half way through the first beginner's book by Trevor Wye, it's very nice. Sometimes I actually produce a sound ;)

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+Markus Peters That's super awesome! I've taught out of his beginner books, and they are FANTASTIC. Keep up the great work! 😊

[@edgaraortiz]

I love the Monument Valley totem plushyyy!

[@lindacantwell8266]

[@rudolphmcneill515]

I haven't played in many many years, but I recently purchased a new flute and the 6 book compilation. My first college teacher started us on these.

[@nishiana]

Thanks for the video!

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+Nishiana You're welcome! 😊

[@tsitton9]

Joanna, thanks for explaining his books and methods so thoroughly! I've seen them in music stores and online and in your recent live stream. This helped me understand what he has to offer, because I can't afford to buy a lot of different books and methods right now. And I didn't know he had a KZbin channel, I will have to check that out! Thanks again!

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+Flutist You're absolutely welcome! I hope you enjoy his books when you get them! 😊

[@GeorgeSKLeong]

Hi Joanna, thanks for the very informative and funny videos. Do you mind doing a guide on how to best use these Trevor Wye method books?

[@emmabloom1793]

So a week ago I was ordering some sheet music at an online shop. I had my "financial situation" in my head so I knew I could spend 30 more chf (swiss currency, $1 is about 0.95 chf). So I remembered that you said you like the trevowlr wye books, I looked for it and I guessed I found it. It didn't have a picture of it online so I wasn't sure if I reaoly ordered the right book, but it was more expensive than the single books alone. So I guessed it had to be it. Then on wednesday I got an email from the store, they said that they don't have the sheet music I need right now, but the practice book is on the way. The book arrived yesterday and I was so happy having it. I only did the harmonics exercise because I didn't have much time. I'm so excited to practice, I have much time now since it's spring break💪

[@chaliceflower]

Since the world is in an interesting place, I've decided to revisit my flute after 8-10 years in order to retain at least some of my sanity. And to give the lungs a workout! I have a student Yamaha flute & Trevor Wye Book 1. Anyone else here?

[@valkyrie_592]

I am in such an epic mood. Adjusted my flute to perfection somehow, started playing in tune since today, figured out why some notes are resisting when I played them, ordered this book which makes me shit my pants but also makes me extremely excited to practice the devil out of it. Can't be better

[@MirandaNike]

I just bought the six book omnibus on Amazon used. I will be working on this for years.

[@satinbarbi]

[@elenawang9019]

For me it's definitely Hanon exercises for piano. Went through that book for at least 6 times in the spam of 9 years. (and hi Joanna!)

[@martitapere6938]

Hi Joanna,I love your videos .I too use the Trevor Wye books.An orchestral flute player pal recommended them to me.But as a photographer,I suggest you try an old Hollywood style of lighting for your videos.Use one light directly in front of your face but angled down so that your nose shadow falls roughly half way between your nose and your upper lip.You'll look even more beautiful this way and won't be blinded by lights from the side.(You 'd normally only set up lights to the side if you were doing a flat copy like a painting for example).The second light is redundant unless you want to soften the shadows or use it to illuminate your hair from behind you.

[@jennahohmann2664]

I play the violin and I find that the Suzuki books are the best. Great books!

[@anna-fv6ce]

Hey Joanna! I love those stars in the background, any idea where you got them? Thanks!

[@pmh1nic]

I purchased the 6 volume book on Amazon for $35 including shipping. It my be a little too advanced for an absolute beginner but once you can blow notes and can read a fingering chart you can begin doing the exercises. They are challenging but I'm trusting Joanna that in the long run they will be helpful.

[@infamousBlader]

I know this has not been active for a few months, but I purchased the Trevor Wye practice books 1 - 5. I really have not used it because as an adult/self taught learner of two years, I am not sure how to use it. Do I practice bits from each section?

[@ericharris236]

I'm definitely buying Trevor Wye...I need something like this in my life :-)

[@suek7086]

I just ordered it. I am just getting back to playing and am almost 69. I used to be very good but now, not so much, except for quite simple pieces.

[@ericharris236]

@@suek7086 Congrats! I'm 58 and used to take lessons, and still play some. But I need "structure" for practicing, and basic processes. I'm sure this resource advised by JAF is going to help me plenty! Keep playing!! :-)

[@NoodleyBits]

What's the difference between a flutist and a flautist? About $100 an hour (old band joke) I have heard people say "It's flutist. I play a flute, not a flaut." :) FYI for the wondering: The Practice books 1-6 are selling on Amazon right now for $32.95, the Piccolo book is $34.12 with free shipping. There are some independent sellers who have lower prices, but high shipping. I'm putting them on my wish list for when I have the $$ to order.

[@kiaraeijo]

FarfalleAlfredo In the U.S., people say Flutist and in the U.K., they say Flautist

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+FarfalleAlfredo Yep! I'm seeing different prices depending on where you're ordering from, so definitely keep an eye on those prices!

[@NoodleyBits]

IMO, it's worth paying a little more to know you're getting it from a reputable seller...and free shipping :D

[@kathleenkinney8536]

Thank you for this. I've had that book on my shelf more or less unopened for some (busy) months now. You inspired me to take it off the shelf and dive in, and also check out his channel. "Twice the improvement in half the time"--who can resist that? Happy weekend to you!

[@kathleenkinney8536]

Yep, so I went to Wye's website and learned more about his colored-LED lights acrylic flute and the rare triple-flageolet. More procrastination, can't really call it productive. In a battle between my intention and my attention, no contest. I feel like a puppy distracted by a butterfly . . . Oh, look! A yellow thing! in the air! . . . I have kitten-video-brain. My `holy grails' are reflective of my musical interests: Grey Larson's Essential Guide to Irish Flute and Tin Whistle which is a honkin' $50, 500-page, 3-pound book that goes into great detail about ornamentation and articulation in this style of music. Mel Bay's Complete Book of Irish Music by Mizzy McCaskill builds a bridge into the world of Irish flute music for the Boehm flutist. Imagine my double-surprise when I attended my first Irish-flute workshop, and I was the only one there without a wooden flute. And then the instructor said, "Okay, I'll play this tune through a couple of times, and then you just follow along with me." [=o And when my flute flipped a spring, and he told me that there was probably no-one within 50 miles who could do a repair on "the machine", I knew I had truly come through the looking glass.

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+Kathleen Kinney Haha, oh man! And you know what, you're the 2nd person to mention the Grey Larson book! Dude, so cool, I need to get my hands on that sometime for some quality productive procrastination!

I'm a self taught flute beginner. Played Sax with formal lessons, 30 years ago. Just purchase the Trevor Wye Practice Book 1-6. How would you suggest a practice\lesson plan for it. Should I start in at page one and work straight thru exercise by exercise to the end. Or should I work on each section simultaneously, say 15 minutes in each per practice section. I'm retired so I've got lots of time to devote. Thank you so much for creating this channel and sharing your knowledge.

Piano: Hanon Harp: Bochsa Etudes/Friou exercises Strings: Sevcik 19th century flute: Nicholson There's some controversy about Hanon, though. If you do it wrong, it will screw up your hands very badly, and a lot of people don't think they're worth it as a result. Personally, I'm not a fan, but they are commonly used.

[@ManuelJoao3105]

THE HOLLY GRAIL of flute playing before XVIII century I would say is Quantz treaty about flute playing

[@jcortese3300]

For a one-key, I'd agree. Nicholson is good for classical 8-key simple system ones. I should also say that Grey Larsen's book is probably the "method book" for Irish flute, which is how most people come to the 8-key 19th century flute.

[@keiraferrari7764]

“Demanted banshee” LOL

[@DebbieGermany]

Joanna, I think your lights will work out. I would suggest that you do a custom white balance on your camera if you have not already. It still looks a bit off in the color department. If you have not done it, it involves taking a shot of a white piece of paper, and then telling the camera to use that as a reference for true white under that light set up! That also effects all the other colors to make them come out right. I love your videos!

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

Yup, already did that, but it's still a bit off. Kinda bothers me, but I'll figure it out eventually! Thanks for the input though :)

[@zacharycoronado6749]

New lighting? Looks fabulous.

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

YUP! Still fiddling with their placement and my camera's manual settings... I talk about it some more at the end of this video ;)

[@val55476]

100% agree!!

[@chrisbee9164]

Hi I love your videos. Just ordered this. Can I say one thing about your mention of flutist or flautist? Flautist is pronounced floor-tist , hence the “what do you do with floors”. Makes more sense that way right? It’s a shame people are increasingly using flutist, but each to their own. It’s how you enjoy the flute that matters. 😀👍

[@jiannaongsioco4617]

Oh man this is gonna be gud

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

I hope it is! :D

[@rowpaz3720]

hello, your videos are very entertaining and informative, I love your personality!!..I want to start learning to play the flute by myself, would these books be appropriate for a self-taught person?.. Do they start with the very basics or previous music theory knowledge is needed?. If not, would you recommend me any material to do so? :)

[@DoctorFlute]

These books begin with a knowledge of theory and reading music. If you want a beginner book I like a beginner book by Phyllis Louke, or Breeze Easy Bk 1, or even the Rubank beginner books (I use this for adults who are just beginning not children).Hope this helps!

[@paperchase22]

For Clarinets I also recommend the Uhl studies book 1 &2. Don't don't jump ahead with those - work your way through!!! No cheating !! X

little by little and do it a long time fit my way of learning. I am just starting flute learning. A real beginner. But I want to try and love flute music. I have not got teachers yet only a flute. I have no ideas how the pieces in the book sound like. Amazon has the book with CDs very expensive. Not sure if I can learn with the book only Should I just buy the book?

[@FabriceBLR]

I was hesitating on what to buy to complement Taffanel & Gaubert Complete book (impossible to find here in France, except famous chapter 4 "Exercices journaliers") and the "Omnibus" was on my list. Have you ever used Moyse's books? Would they be worth it? Was contemplating buying "De la Sonorité" since my pdf version is shi**y and maybe his scales books since I've read that some people (Galway & others) are praising them. Is there any explanations on how to whistle tone and other extended techniques? I would really be eager having a very ample 3rd octave dynamics and my piano/pianissimo are clearly too fluffy/airy when it comes to E6, Fsharp6 or Gsharp6.

I am starting to play my flute but I need a recommendation for etude books.
