Learning the flute?

This guide is a rescue package offering an original and highly effective visual approach to mastering the basics of flute technique. Ideal for the self-taught flute player.

How can I make a stronger sound?

How can I make my breath last longer?

How can I improve my coordination?

These commonly asked questions and many more are expertly considered - first understand the issue, then learn quickly how best to overcome it. You will learn the basics of correct technique:

How to create a beautiful warm tone - control of mouth and breath.

How to maximise your breathing capacity - control of the diaphragm

How to find a comfortable posture - control of the body.

How to achieve a fluid technique - control of hands and fingers.


No more reading long dense texts -


Visualisation is used to introduce new concepts so that you can just get on and play. Learn how to harness your brain and you will: fast track co-ordination skills, practice more effectively, read more fluently.

Louise Lawrence is a freelance woodwind musician and teacher of over thirty years' experience. She takes a psychological approach to overcoming hurdles that limit playing potential. Her instructive style is warm, light and highly accessible. Learning on your own is a lonely experience and, without a witness to your endeavours, it is all too easy to unknowingly acquire habits that are difficult to unlearn.

This friendly little book will cost you a fraction of one music lesson. Pop it on your music stand. It will be there for you when you practice your touchstone to dip into when you pause for breath.

Lawrence, Louise: - Louise graduated from the London College of Music with ALCM and LLCM and began her first post as Woodwind teacher for North Devon LEA. Since her subsequent post as Woodwind tutor for Blundell's School, Louise's ongoing freelance work in Somerset has involved teaching people of all ages and performing with a variety of Classical, Jazz and Klezmer ensembles. Her music projects have been many and varied. They include co-founding The High Park Community Music School, which enables any child to play music; forming the adult band Hoot moving adults towards improvisation; and collaborating on The Mosaic of Art and Vision, workshops designed to teach children how to create art inspired by music. Since gaining a B Sc (Hons) in Psychology, Louise has focussed attention on the hurdles that limit playing potential and developing Wizwind. This innovative and compelling teaching method is designed for people who struggle to read music, enabling students to choose a tune one week and be playing it the next. The Wizwind method liberates students whose reliance on reading music prevents them from developing their improvising potential.
