The author of The Gilbert Legacy studied under Geoffrey Gilbert and carried out extensive research during the writing of this book. The purpose is to present the teaching concepts and methods of this prominent teacher and player, and the resulting work provides a compendium of information suited to the intermediate and advanced player seeking a more natural and logical approach to playing the flute. In addition, fundamental and beginning concepts are introduced which have proven beneficial to flautists of all ages. Topics covered include embouchure, vibrato, practising techniques and the life of Geoffrey Gilbert.
