Summer Practice Tips for Flute Players

Summer is the perfect time to explore new music, strengthen your technique, and prepare for the season ahead, all at your own pace. Whether you're practicing on the beach or in the backyard, here are a few simple tips to stay inspired:

1. Set a Summer Goal.

Choose one piece to master by the end of summer, something like Philippe Gaubert’s Nocturne et Allegro Scherzando or the new Liebermann Concerto No. 2  for Flute and Orchestra. Find a piece that offers both lyrical beauty and technical challenge.

2. Mix It Up.

Keep things fresh by rotating your practice with etudes and solos. Try top-sellers like Paul Edumund-Davies’ Daily Exercises, A Progressive Journey, or the Rubank Advanced Method, great for building tone and control.

3. Keep It Light and Fun.

Summer doesn’t have to be all serious; sight-read something new each week! Explore our Solo Flute Collection for a variety of fun picks.

4. Stay Consistent.

Even 15 minutes a day can go a long way. Create a practice routine you can stick to, even on vacation. You can even use a practice journal to log your progress!
