COLORFUL FLUTE ETUDES

Why were the Colorful Flute Etudes written?

The Colorful Flute Etudes were written by fluteplayer, -teacher and -composer Ansje De Groef. She was in need of fun etudes for her young (and less young ;-)) flutestudents. Many known flute etudes are written for more advanced students only and in only one style.

Why progressive Flute Etudes?

The Flute Etudes are progressive, so the students meet with all aspects of flute playing. Different aspects reoccur in the different books at another level.

The aspects are classical aspects like legato, staccato and double staccato, different keys, classical time signatures, but also more modern aspects like modern rhythms, time signatures, chromatics, flatterzunge, etc.

The etudes are always challenging in a way, inviting to practice.

Why the name 'Colorful Flute Etudes?

These etudes are in a variety of styles, so the students meet with different kinds of genres. Some etudes are very classical, others sound more folky or have a 'pop'-feeling. Etudes like 'Paëlla para todos' sound spanish of course and titles like 'Vienna Vibes' don't need any explanation :-)
