Because it is on oversized paper the fast moving notes are much simpler to read than previous editions. Playing and teaching Syrinx has never been so easy!\r\n\r\nAdditionally, an article by Laurel Ewell explains the text of the melodrama for which Syrinx was written. Each phrase of Syrinx was written to describe or portray the corresponding text. This knowledge is invaluable in understanding how Debussy intended the piece to be played.\r\n\r\nThis edition is licensed through the Theodore Presser Co, with permission by Jobert.\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eSyrinx 101\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cp align=\"center\" class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:center\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; font-size: 18pt;\"\u003eSyrinx 101 By Walfrid Kujala\u003c\/span\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWhile taking note of the one-hundred-first anniversary of\r\nthe premiere of Claude Debussy’s \u003ci\u003eSyrinx\u003c\/i\u003e,\r\nI would like to take this opportunity to recommend a publication that ought to be\r\nin every flutist’s \u003ci\u003erelearn-it-now\u003c\/i\u003e library:\r\n \u003ci\u003eSyrinx\r\nfor solo flute by Claude Debussy, Rhythmic Teaching Edition \u003c\/i\u003eby Kathy Blocki\r\nand Laurel Ewell (www.BlockiFlute.com). \r\nIf you saw my Oct. 2013 article, \u003ci\u003eSyrinx\r\nGone Wild\u003c\/i\u003e, you may have been surprised at the multitude of rhythmic blunders\r\nI noted as a result of my YouTube survey of over sixty \u003ci\u003eSyrinx\u003c\/i\u003e performances (at least half of them by professional players).  Many of those errors were illustrated in my\r\ncomposite notation, five bars of which are shown below.  (My composite “error” version of the whole\r\npiece can be found in the \u003ci\u003eFlute Talk\r\nOnline \u003c\/i\u003eof Oct. 2013). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBlocki’s teaching edition of \u003ci\u003eSyrinx\u003c\/i\u003e cleverly subdivides each beat of the music into two, three\r\nor four related background rhythms on separate lines in score form, and with\r\nthe original notation always printed on the bottom line for reference.  In the very first beat, for example, the top\r\nline has three B flat sixteenths followed by one A natural sixteenth, and the\r\nline below combines the three B flats into a dotted eighth followed by an A\r\nnatural sixteenth.  Close attention to\r\nthe placement of that A natural will help you gain expressive sounding,\r\nunrushed thirty-second notes.  Playing a\r\ncontinuous all-thirty-second note version of the first two beats is also\r\nhelpful. (By far, the most common error in \u003ci\u003eSyrinx\u003c\/i\u003e\r\nperformances is the consistent rushing of the two thirty-second notes as if\r\nthey were grace notes.  They are an\r\nintegral part of the thematic structure, not mere ornaments.)  Then later in the fourth bar, differentiating\r\nproperly between the thirty-seconds of the first beat and the triplet\r\nsixteenths of the second and third beats is neatly accomplished after careful practicing\r\nof each of the upper three lines.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe most interesting rhythm is in the penultimate bar with\r\nits descending five-note whole-tone scale spread evenly over two beats.  By mentally dividing the first beat\r\nquarter-note into five equal sixteenths, as Blocki specifies, you can get a\r\nvery accurate feeling for the values of the descending eighth notes and still\r\nbe able to control Debussy’s \u003ci\u003etres retenu\u003c\/i\u003e\r\nmarking.  But don’t spoil the continuity\r\nof this final phrase by taking a disconcerting breath at the bar-line like too\r\nmany flutists do.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eI have myself practiced the entire Blocki rhythmic teaching\r\nedition several times, ending up even more confident about my rhythm and phrasing--a\r\nvery satisfying feeling.  No matter how certain\r\nyou may be about \u003ci\u003eyour\u003c\/i\u003e rhythm, playing\r\nthe Blocki version will give you a very nice check-up opportunity--and perhaps\r\ntrigger a few wake-up calls along the way.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe six separate pages of the \u003ci\u003eRhythmic Teaching Edition\u003c\/i\u003e are attractively engraved on durable,\r\nheavy-stock, legal size paper, printed on one side only, and can be spread out\r\nover two music stands.  The original\r\nperformance version of \u003ci\u003eSyrinx\u003c\/i\u003e is\r\nprinted separately on two pages, and there are three other pages, one\r\ncontaining guidance and hints from Blocki about how to practice the rhythmic\r\nteaching edition, and two pages of excellent program notes by Laura A.

High notes become difficult when students only play in the low and middle octaves for as much as one year. The students then have trouble with embouchure flexibility, and the ability to form a smaller lip opening.  Listen to this young beginner “accidentally” playing in three octaves!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRhythm:\u003c\/strong\u003e   Flute Zoo books 1-3 and the Five-Note Fun Sticker Book work together to insure a solid rhythmic foundation.  Towards the end of Flute Zoo Book 2 students are reading rhythms that may appear simple, but imply more difficult rhythms. They learn how to play rhythms like a dotted quarter note followed by an eighth long before they actually read it.  In Flute Zoo Book 3, students use the rhythm cards in the back of their book to first play these rhythms with tied eighth notes. Then the card is flipped over to reveal how the rhythm would be written without tied notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Five-Note Fun Sticker Book helps to instill the ability to move between beat levels with ease.

This makes for a wonderful way to have all students perform together at the end of a recital.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHaving students play a duet with their teacher during their first few recitals greatly eases recital nerves and helps ensure a successful, confidence-building performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"It is so rewarding to see a student’s eyes light up when playing duets. Even as a college student while studying with Samuel Baron, I always looked forward to playing a duet with him at the end of each lesson. Duets are fun but important for developing ensemble skills and an early concept of playing in tune. Tuning at this level is not possible with a large group of beginners — that is why it is so essential for students to develop this skill first with their private teacher, then with small ensembles, and finally with large ensembles.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e— Kathy Blocki\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended Sequence\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/flute-zoo-book-1\"\u003eFlute Zoo Book 1\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/flute-zoo-solo-book\"\u003eFlute Zoo Solo Book\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/flute-zoo-book-2\"\u003eFlute Zoo Book 2\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/flute-zoo-five-note-fun\"\u003eFive-Note Fun Sticker Book\u003c\/a\u003e, and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/flute-zoo-solo-book\"\u003eFlute Zoo Solo Book\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/flute-zoo-book-3\"\u003eFlute Zoo Book 3\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/flute-zoo-five-note-fun\"\u003eFive-Note Fun Sticker Book\u003c\/a\u003e, and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/flute-zoo-solo-book\"\u003eFlute Zoo Solo Book\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/blocki-flute-method-student-book-2-3rd-ed\"\u003eBlocki Flute Method Book 2\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003cem\u003eCobb County Fair\u003c\/em\u003e from the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/flute-zoo-solo-book\"\u003eFlute Zoo Solo Book\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/blocki-flute-method-book-1-student-book-1-5th-edition\"\u003eBlocki Flute Method Book 3\u003c\/a\u003e (full range of the flute and complex rhythm patterns)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Blocki Flute","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47754913513708,"sku":"FZBook-D","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/5795\/0444\/files\/Flute_20Zoo_20Duet_20Book_20Product_20Picture_57095433-0eee-483a-8fe1-75550f2e8e41.png?v=1781683208"},{"product_id":"flute-zoo-solo-book","title":"Flute Zoo Solo Book","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWinner of the 2022 National Flute Association Newly Published Music Award\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Flute Zoo Solo Book includes 13 original and exciting solos with piano accompaniment — perfect for students' first recital pieces or solo and ensemble competitions.
