II-V-I Patterns
I have updated the II-V-I patterns yet again. I consolidated some of the other patterns I had (like the Ray Brown ones). There are now 286 pages (or 286 4 bar patterns) to enjoy. Also gone is the Jazz Font in favor of a more clean, professional look using Bill Duncan’s Fonts for Finale.
These patterns were designed to be used with Aebersold Vol. 3, Track 2. Also included is a 24 page reference of the patterns.
If you want some more patterns, I highly recommend Jerry Bergonzi’s Inside Improvisation Vol. 5. There are some really great patterns in there. Enjoy!

Beatboxing On Flute
Greg Patillo has some excellent youtube videos of him beatboxing and playing flute.
Inspector Gadget
Super Mario Brothers!
Excellent stuff. He has a Myspace page (I hate myspace). Check him out!
If you want to learn more about beatboxing, check out Humanbeatbox. They have some videos and tutorials there. I found the site very enjoyable, especially some of the demos. The guy has this English/Australian accent that just cracks me up. (L as in Lollipop).
But seriously, beatboxing and flute is a very cool thing. Coolest thing I’ve heard since Tom Scott’s flute solo on Patrick Williams tune Threshold.
Transcriptions of Harold McNair Jazz Flute Solos
John Devitt wrote “Hello all, for those of you interested in studying jazz flute improvisation I’ve uploaded two MIDI files of transcribed solos of the late great jazz flautist Harold McNair to my website. If you don’t have a sequencer or notation program which can print out the solo part you can download the accompanying PDF files and print them out. The files are strictly for private study and may not be used for commercial purposes. On my homepage just scroll down to the MIDI files area. Hope you enjoy,and, of course, feedback is welcome.
Regards,

Extended Technique Websites
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.
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”
Flutter tounging
A good place to start would be this website.I think of more of the rolling of R’s. Or, if your explaining this to a younger person, a machine gun type sound, or a purring type sound. All of these are made by using your uvula.It’s going to take practice anyway you look at it. It is not an easy concept for some people.
