THE STORY BEHIND THE BOOK?
The idea of this book was born while I was studying towards my bachelor's degree in Classical Flute Pedagogy at the Lahti University of Applied Sciences, Finland, from 2012 to 2016. Because of the closing of the Music and Drama Department and the approaching retirement of Rainer Risberg, I wanted to preserve the exact spirit and approach to flute playing I had enjoyed so much in Rainer Risberg's lessons.
The book was also strongly inspired by my own musical path. As I began playing the flute as a secondary instrument in my twenties, I was looking for an intermediate level flute school that would give me a proper introduction to the world of flute playing and help me to practice independently. This book draws on the insights of the wonderful flute pedagogue Rainer Risberg and my own research and discoveries.
The legacy of the flute wizard lives on, reminding us that playing the flute is... easy!
