This classic study, now revised and updated, shows how scientific calculations can be used to improve the understanding, design, and tuning of woodwind instruments. A powerful tool for correcting tuning errors in existing instruments and for creating new designs, Nederveen's analysis has long been a standard in the field of acoustics.

Nederveen's aim is to find systematic and accurate methods for calculating the position and size of tone holes and functional bore corrections for the various woodwinds. He achieves this aim and further provides a detailed application to the design of flutes, clarinets, saxophones, oboes, and bassoons.

An extended new chapter analyzing and interpreting recent developments in acoustics of woodwind instruments, a list of symbols, and a subject index complete this revised edition. This book is a necessity for specialists in the physics of acoustics, music teachers, and anyone interested in woodwind design.

This method and resource handbook for music education students offers an overview of basic instructional techniques with relevant musical examples; discusses selection, care, and assembly of instruments; and supplies a complete bibliography of educational materials. Throughout the text's coverage of fundamentals, special emphasis is placed on developing ideas for innovative teaching strategies.

Fifty for Flute is a collection of progressive studies in two volumes for unaccompanied flute. Carefully written to explore different aspects of the flautist's technique through the grades, these attractive and well-crafted studies also contain a mix of articulations, speeds, time signatures and rhythms to provide original and varied study repertoire for teacher and pupil. All fifty studies have their own individual character and mood, indicated by the titles that head each piece. Pupils will enjoy the good-humoured (but very easy) syncopations of 'Bouncy flute', the thrill of the big top in 'Circus flute' and the wicked Offenbach parody in 'Comical flute'.

The exercises in this book are designed to help students learn the scales, articulations, technic, and style necessary to play in the jazz idiom, particularly in the Big Band or swing styles.
