i was looking for this book because james galway and some other flutist said its a really good book...But i have not personally looked it through and i don't want to buy a $80-$100 book without any info on it aleast.
So i was wondering has anyone looked at it or plays out of it?

the 17 big daily exercises by TandG is really the one used by most flute players, I have had it memorized for years now and find it to be in valuable

I just needed something more advanced cause the Advanced Rubank Studies are to easy for me...Even though I'm only 17 and still in high school I'm pretty dedicated to the flute 3-4 hours a day.

ahhahahah will do!

And then, once you are enjoying the T&G 17 big daily book, delve into any of the study books by Marcel Moyse. These are the sort of things that us flute practice addicts enjoy.

I was lucky enough to have my parents buy it for me a few years ago. Now if I need music, I must save up from my paychecks or make copies from friends.

Being a college student isn't what it's cracked up to be at all.

Well there is a flute libary where you can rent music for like a month or 2.

i suggest to buy it. i started out with the moyse excercise book and i just recently bought the taffanel/golbert and it is REALLY GOOD! and it shouldnt cost you $100. i got it for around $30.

and what about this? http://www.4shared.com/network/search.jsp?searchmode=2&searchName=taffanel

check out ebay under flute sheet music, I saw the 17 big daily exercises there really cheap not long ago
