Hello fellow flutists! I love playing the flute, and I'm gonna be in a new school next year and I want to impress my band director with how amazing I sound. The only problem is I don't know what to practice over the summer, and that's why I'm here. I want to know what exercises and song you use, and what you usually practice aside from music, I want to know what warm-ups you use and what I can do to improve my tone and sound amazing. Thank you for your time.

Buy the Trevor Wye books! If you can't afford the Omnibus edition (has all 6 books included in one), then buy the book number one for Tone. As a performer and teacher, I swear by the exercises in these books, and if you practice them diligently, you will notice improvement! Additionally, make sure your flute is in good working order, as this can often set you back!
