About the The Aspiring Flutist's Practice Companion ...
PART ONE A multi-chapter resource on developing your personal artistry. This includes practice techniques and routine-building, performance readiness and preparation, taking various aspects of your playing to the next level - and, perhaps most importantly, identifying your own weaknesses and developing specific solutions for them, whether you're focusing on practice issues or on overarching musical and musicianship concepts.
PART TWO One hundred engaging, useful practice games on learning new music, refining musicality, building muscle memory - all that good stuff.
PART THREE Hugely thorough etudes and warm-ups with new takes on learning and teaching a huge variety of techniques, composed by Sánchez, that are designed to supplement (and, in some cases, replace) Taffanel and Gaubert.
Truly, the Practice Companion is something you'll just keep on your stand. It's that useful.

About The Aspiring Flutist's Sing-along Surrender Etude Book ...
The Aspiring Flutist’s Sing-along Surrender Etude Book is not your average boring scales and arpeggios, “let’s play in the high register and like it” type of etude book. This collection of studies takes flutists on an emotional journey toward relaxed enjoyment in playing the flute, a place we all started when flute playing was still new, shiny, and full of possibilities. As Sánchez explains in her opening letter to the aspiring flutist: “When I am in the state of Sing-along Surrender, that flow state in which ‘muscle memory’ doesn’t just apply to things like pattern recognition and finger transitions but also to effortless, un-self-conscious flow of air, sounds, emotions, and more, I feel as free and open as if I were driving down Highway 1 in a convertible with the top down, sun on my face and wind in my hair, breathing the ocean air and filled with the joy of singing along to a favorite song.” The Sing-along Surrender indeed takes us on a much-needed vacay down the highway of self-discovery and creative freedom.
