Scale Practice Routine:
suggested by James Galway
at the 1997 NFA Flute Convention - Chicago

• ABOVE: first 5 note pattern in C Major.
  
• Play as smoothly as possible without accenting any notes.
  
• Play with your best possible sound on each note.
  
• Begin slowly and gradually speed up over time as your technique improves.
  
• Continue up the range of the flute with each consecutive 5 note pattern.
  
• Continue the same approach in ALL keys - plan on investing lots of time to each key.
