Building on the

the first two books of
the series, Volume III
dives into more
complicated Irish
traditional flute
ornamentation such as
rolls, short rolls,
crans, and
breath-ornament
techniques. Volume III

fingering charts;

Lines is the first
Irish flute method book
series of its kind,
containing more than 600
technical exercises, rich
and nuanced discussions
of Irish flute style and
cultural context,
previously undocumented
techniques, side-by-side
explanations for Boehm
and simple system
flutists (as well as
information for musicians
transitioning between the
two instruments), audio
excerpts, simple system
flute care and purchasing
information, and
resources for further
study. By the end of the
four-part series, Boehm
and simple system
flutists of any
background will have the
tools necessary to play
Irish music with a deep
understanding of the
tradition as well as with
individual
creativity.

“Leslie Anne
Harrison’s Playing
Outside the Lines is
a marvelous gift to all
interested in Irish
music. Her clear and
detailed writing is a
huge boon to those
embracing the traditional
Irish flute and is truly
enlightening to those
(like me) who want to
delve into this music
while playing the Boehm
flute. From tiniest
detail to largest form,
Leslie Anne Harrison is
there every step of the
way. Playing Outside
the Lines is a major
contribution to flute
pedagogy.” —Robert

Author of The Other
