Giampaolo Pretto

Dentro il suono

Inside the sound was born from the need to provide the basics and technique of flute emission, through a pragmatic approach that analyzes all aspects related to posture, lip support and breathing. The author emphasizes the importance of the different parts of the body involved, highlighting the areas used to perform certain techniques (vibrato, legato and modulation for the throat, the diaphragm for staccato, arpeggios, tremolos and chromaticisms for the embouchure). The goal is to offer daily training to improve these aspects through 50 studies, "... to make the flute your voice". Giampaolo Pretto's work has the merit of being pleasant, avoiding the repetitiveness of technical exercises and exploiting the musical sense of the student; Aimed mainly at intermediate and advanced students, it can also be useful for beginners, who can use it to carry out preliminary exercises to the emission of sound.
