De Pijper: Flute Colors

De Pijper: Flute Colors by Rogier de Pijper is an inspiring method for flautists who want to look beyond traditional playing techniques. The book demonstrates how modern and extended playing techniques not only produce special sound effects but can also help to further develop control, flexibility, and tonal awareness on the flute.

The exercises are structured practically and cover a wide spectrum of techniques. These include harmonics, fluttertongue, wind and residual tones, tone bending, key clicks, singing and playing, pizzicato, tongue ram, quartertones and microtones, whisper tones, multiphonics, and circular breathing.

Although the publication is aimed at intermediate to advanced levels, each chapter contains exercises with varying degrees of difficulty. This means the material can also be selectively used by less experienced players who want to familiarize themselves with contemporary flute techniques.

Supporting video material is available for each exercise via flutecolors.com. In addition, the website contains extra bonus material, making the book suitable for independent use outside of lessons.

Rogier de Pijper specialized in extended techniques for the flute during his master's degree and developed this method from that expertise. The publication has 64 pages and is published by Timbre Publications. Catalogue number TIM00026-02, ISBN 9789492153180.
