CONTENTS PREVIEW
Here is what people have to say about the Advanced Alto Method:
This book is a useful addition to the literature, especially for intermediate players who are new to the alto flute. The book gives a clear overview of the skills needed for excellent playing, and the list of resources at the end guides players towards further material to explore to develop additional skills. Potter’s tips are based on her own ideas and experience, and provide good starting points for experimentation and development of a personal approach.

From the day I received Chris Potter’s newly published Alto Flute Method I saw the immediate value of having essential daily exercises for warm up, tone, breath control, scales for low flutes, etudes all in one concise book, along with Dr. Potter’s wit and wisdom to zero in on developmental areas specific to the alto flute. I will be using this book every time I pick up my alto!
