Question Title

* 2. Regarding the topic of TONE/SOUND, what benefits did Wendy discuss about using the "Tongueless Attack Exercise?" Please check all that apply. (20 pts)

Getting the air moving in all registers.

Works nicely with students who have difficulty tonguing.

Finding the right embouchure position for all registers.

Only works well with "Step-up" and "Pro-level" flutes.

Question Title

* 3. Regarding the topic of INTONATION, what recommendations did Wendy make? Please check all that apply. (20 pts)

Good intonation only comes from years of practice.

Ensure the flute headjoint cork is in proper position.

Teach students to adjust their pitch as they play with the angle of the air stream.

Students with "Step-up" or "Pro-level" flutes will have to do very little or no pitch adjustments as they play.

Question Title

* 4. Regarding the topic of ARTICULATION, what concepts did Wendy discuss? Please check all that apply. (20 pts)

Students should use different "tongue weights" to achieve proper attacks in different styles.

The harder the attack, the better.

Double-tonguing becomes useful when tempo increases toward and beyond 140mm on 16th notes.

In most cases, the tongue is not used when creating attacks on the flute.

Question Title

* 5. Regarding the topic of TEACHING MATERIALS, what items did Wendy NOT discuss? Please check all that apply. (20 pts)

Method books.

Duets.

The book "Ten Ways to Successfully Avoid Practicing" by Marcel Moyse.

Books on scales.

Question Title

* 6. Regarding the topic of PLAYING IN AN ENSEMBLE, what observations did Wendy make regarding playing an orchestra versus playing in a band? Please check all that apply. (20 pts)

Orchestras typically play at a higher pitch level than bands.

In orchestras, the music will call for flutists to rest less than in bands.

In orchestras, the likelihood of being the only player on your part is much higher than in a band.

Orchestra music is much more challenging than band music.
