Selected Duets for Flute Podcast
David Summer plays Selected Duets for Flute.
Using his home recording studio, David has recorded some of the duets from the book Selected Duets for Flute, Volume 1 Edited by H.Voxman.
These flute duets are standard learning material for flute students taking flute lessons and can be fun to play for all flutists.
In addition to being educational, the duets can also be used by two flutes in performance. They are especially effective for wedding ceremonies, church services and other occasions calling for elegant music.
This podcast contains the recordings of both flute parts, played as a duet. As a resource for flute students and flute teachers, David has also recorded each of these duets in a flute 2 only version that can be used as a play along.
The matching flute 2 only version for each of these recordings can be found on the Flute Podcast page of David's website at www.summersong.net.
