Into Sound stems from the need to provide the basics and technique of flute sound emission, through a pragmatic approach that analyses all aspects related to posture, lip support and breathing. The author emphasises the importance of the different parts of the body involved, highlighting the areas used to execute certain techniques (the throat for vibrato, legato and modulation, the diaphragm for staccato, the mouthpiece for arpeggios, tremolos and chromatism). The aim is to offer daily training to improve these aspects through 50 studies, “... for making the flute your voice”. Giampaolo Pretto’s work has the merit of being enjoyable, avoiding the repetitiveness of technical exercises and exploiting the student’s musical sense. Aimed mainly at students have intermediate or advanced grade, it can also be useful for beginners, who can use it to carry out exercises prior to playing.
