REVIEW NFA The Flutist Quarterly
This attractive collection for the beginner and early intermediate flutist has 40 short songs that are a joy for the young learner and teacher. Like many of her publications, North has commissioned and assembled simple, charmingly evocative, and sometimes culturally inspired works by 17 contemporary composers from around the world, including some flutist composers.
Like the overall quality and comprehensiveness of her other published collections, this volume is robust with pieces that give the flutist and teacher refreshing opportunity to focus on both technique and expressive playing, learn a range of styles of music, be teased by a little bit of background on the composers, and be inspired to keep turning the page to play the next piece.
It is complete with descriptions of the pieces and performance suggestions embraceable by the early student as well as supplementally helpful to the teaching environment. These little pieces “fit” the flute and young flutist well and make a joyful and strong addition to learning and making music at these early stages. These are indeed a welcome, rich variation on the norm for literature for this level of player.
Suggestions for improving the collection? None. Just keep them coming. This rich volume is a little world of learning opportunity, consistently filled with curiosity nudging and music-making inspiration. BJ Nicoletti, The Flutist Quarterly, Summer, 2024
