Organized by Key
Every exercise gathered key by key, so practice follows a clear, logical path through all tonalities.
THE DON BAILEY TEACHER EDITION
ReichertRevisited
The classic daily exercises—reimagined for today's flutist.
A new key-by-key edition of Mathieu-André Reichert's enduring studies, reorganized with melodic and technical practice strategies, interpretive insight, and upper-register extensions—so technique always serves musical expression.
Why This Edition
A Trusted Classic, Thoughtfully Renewed
For generations, Reichert's Seven Daily Exercises have been a cornerstone of flute technique—prized for their elegance, their completeness, and their quiet musical depth. Their value has never been in question.
This edition preserves that enduring value while reorganizing the material for the way we teach and practice today. The exercises are gathered key by key, prefaced by scales, thirds, and arpeggios, and accompanied by interpretive and technical guidance. Reichert's original sequence remains intact in the appendix—so nothing is lost, and a great deal is gained.
What Makes It Different
Designed for How You Actually Practice
Five refinements that turn a classic into a daily companion.
Scales, Thirds & Arpeggios
A complete warm-up of scales, thirds, and arpeggios precedes every key—technique grounded before the études.
Musical Interpretation
Thoughtful suggestions for phrasing, color, and line, so the exercises become music, not mere drills.
Technical Tips
Concise, practical guidance for fingers, air, and articulation drawn from years in the teaching studio.
Original Sequence Included
Reichert's original order is preserved in full in the appendix—nothing of the classic edition is lost.
A Teacher's Edition
Technique in Service of Musical Expression
This is a teacher's edition in the truest sense. Every choice—the key-by-key order, the preparatory scales, the interpretive notes—was made with the studio in mind. It is built for teachers shaping a curriculum, for serious students seeking structure, and for advancing flutists who want their technique to become a means of genuine musical expression.
"Slow practice is the fastest path to technical mastery."
Dr. Frank R. Wilson
