I have often thought f only there was a book containing all of the daily exercises!' Well here it is.
This book contains the traditional exercises which most autists worldwide use in their daily
workout. They were based on the ve most popular 'French School' study books, though some of
them have been mod ed in the light of present day practice and custom, but, for those who prefer it
the original material is still covered, too.
I have taken the liberty of extending the compass of some of the favourites to top D, or to low B,
which is often now required, but allowing those with more traditional views to retain the old format
if they wish. In order to save space, I have excluded the less important exercises, and added some
new ones of my own – based on old ideas - which I nd useful. I also wish to add that most of these
exercises are fairly easy to memorise, a skill which is widely recognised as having great bene ts for
the future of any young player. Learning to memorise can be thought of as an investment, or 'money
in the bank'!
Where appropriate, I have suggested ways of practising these exercises based on my experiences in
teaching. Of course, there are as many ideas on practising as there are people playing the ute, but I
hope you nd these hints useful.
Finally, the Practice Card can be moved about the book and referred to for your daily practice
scheme. It also provides a guide to different articulation patterns which can be used with most
exercises.

ToneExercises,Warm-ups andVocalise'
Every player has, at some time or another, been captivated by the beauty of a
good melody, and used it to help them develop their tone. Moyse developed this
Idea further by compiling vocal melodies he heard at the Opéra Comique in Paris.
The rst of these 'vocalise' by Reichert has been a standard warm-up exercise
since the days of Paul Taffanel and perhaps before him. Moyse used this
sequence in his classes to help encourage and develop the imagination of his
students. It remains my all-time favourite,especially when used with different
colours. It is ideal to begin the day with this simplesequentialexercise to
warm-up the lips, the breathing,and begin to add expression.
The other exercises were suggested by enthusiastic students over the years. The
expression' or 'interpretation' used to vocalise these melodies is personal,though
T have made a suggestion as to how to start, but to gain the most bene t from
them, a lot depends on the way they are played.
Exercise No.8 by Royer is useful for developing the strength of the lips and tone
when moving from octave to octave.
As always, these exercises are better committed to memory because of the freedom
of expression gained through dispensing with the process of reading the notes.
Blank pages have been added for you to add your own melodies.
The full exercise can be found on page 52. As a tone exercise it should be practised
in all twenty-four keys,as each key has its own problems of tone, colour and intonation.*

When practising these arpeggios, it is useful to include the various alternative ngerings
tor ease and uidity, and also because they are in tune! Examples are given throughout.
In general, D major is more in tune using the middle nger, atter ngering for F#.

To gain familiarity with a useful ngering.practise the so-called'Mignon ngering'

First play top Eb, then remove the 2nd nger of the left hand, and at the same time, lean' on the rst trill

y Exercisesto top B, C or D after D.S.Wood:
dies For Facilitating The Execution Of The Upper Notes On The Flute
Beginning with the rst study, play through it to the highest point that
you reasonably can, and then try to add a higher note every week or so.
When Exercise 1 has been worked at for some time, it is better to add
the second study to it. This will lead to increased ef ciency in the rst exercise.
It is important to iron out any technical problems in the lower two octaves
before venturing into che third octave, and the practise of pages 20-23 is advised.
