Compo | Flute Extended Techniques

Writer's picture: CloverlistCloverlist

I am writing a piece named "Goodbye, and Thank you Kai Tak". The idea came up in my mind when I was Secondary Five, originally I would like to write this piece for a wind quintet, but just because I am using the Sibelius First version, it only allows me to write for four instruments only. And I think probably I would write for four instruments first and the n later add on the remaining one.


Just jot some notes for the techniques and resources for flute
