An Advanced Guide to Quicker LearningKnow The Score is a guide to quicker learning for advanced flautists. It was originally published in 2012 and designed with the DipABRSM Quick Study in mind – a previously unseen extended piece of music for which 5 minutes preparation time was given prior to an assessed performance. The music was at roughly grade 6 level, based on an assumption that a diploma standard player should be capable of tackling the test in this relatively short amount of time. Following the recent withdrawal of the qualification, the continued aim of this newly edited series is to boost the more advanced player’s confidence at quick learning. Two assumptions are made here — that you are a diploma level flautist, and that a reasonable level of sight-reading skill is in place. That said, if you’re less proficient at sight-reading, you should find much in the book that will help you to improve and feel more confident. Alternatively, the book will be of interest to teachers seeking varied, approachable repertoire and theory content to support a keen grade 6 pupil’s longer-term learning. The book contains 15 original quick study pieces, 8 of which have guides.

The most important prerequisite for success in studying the instrument is the ability to practise in a meaningful and rational manner - i. e. to aim at a steady progress through regular and purposeful application, with the least possible expenditure of time and energy. One can only be sure of making improvement when one practises daily, and as one improves so confidence grows and there is a proper basis for success. In this connection it should always be noted that the choice and the demands of individual exercises in respect of range and difficulty of technique and musicality should refer to the standard attained at the relevant time. In the whole curriculum the study has a very important place. In that it is by way of being and exercise, it deals with particular problems of playing in different compositional guises, and shows the necessary link between purely technical and mechanical matter and the literature (including that for concert use) of the instrument. When beginning work on a study the first thing to do is to determine the central problem posed by the composer. For this reason the study should first be read through so that the contents may be grasped and the transference of notes into sound as far as possible be accomplished. Breathing marks are to be put in at appropriate places. Then the study can be played through in slow time, with exact control of all the parts of the body involved in order to avoid inexactness.76 etudes for daily practice.

“Born in 1970, Éric Ledeuil is a versatile musician, working as a flautist, composer, conductor and teacher. All his expertise combined have created the wonderful short work, The Mysteries of Brocéliande. This delightful work by Ledeuil depicts the legendary forest in Brittany, France, which has been used in numerous literary works. It is a place of legend due to its uncertain location, unusual weather, and for notably containing a supposed magical fountain and the tomb of Merlin. The Mysteries of Brocéliande for Flute and Piano accompaniment is an essential and varied piece for intermediate flautists. Ledeuil's piece, depicting beautifully the inspiring forest of Brocéliande, makes for an exciting performance piece for the Flute.&rdquo.

Charles Camilleri (1931 - 2009) was a Maltese composer. As a teenager, he composed a number of works based on folk music and legends of his native Malta. He moved from his early influences by Maltese folk music to a musical form in which nothing is fixed and his compositions evolve from themselves with a sense of fluency and inevitability. He composed over 100 works for orchestra, chamber ensemble, voice and solo instruments. Camilleri's work has been performed throughout the world and his research of folk music and improvisation, the influences of the sounds of Africa and Asia, together with the academic study of European music, helped him create a universal style. Camilleri is recognized in Malta as one of the major composers of his generation. He died on 3 January 2009 at the age of 77. His funeral took place two days later at Naxxar, his long-time town of residence. Flags across Malta were flown at half-mast in tribute to him.
