Robert Dick has a great online resource available. His Extended Techniques Resource Page available off of Larry Krantz’s page is something any flutist/flautist should check out.Another good resource is Mats Möller’s site. He has some excellent graphic and audio examples of Extended Flute Techniques.

I think one of my favorite ones is Jim Walker. Others would be Hubert Laws, and Herbie Mann.
How to Get My Tone Back Fast?
Ashley writes “I just started playing flute again after a 2 year break without playing at all. I played in the Symphony in college and believe that my technique is still there (for the most part, at least), but I have completely lost my tone. Any suggestions on how to get it back fast?Thanks!Ashley”
