Hi everyone, I am writing to find out if anyone have purchased the Hamelin
scales book recently and how much they cost. The copy I have right now
belongs to my teacher and he said that when he purchased the book, it was
difficult to find not to mention expensive (30 dollars!!). I am wondering
if anyone have purchased it at a lower price recently and where I can get
them. I haven't tried Eble Music yet, but I will. Also, does anyone have
any good recommendations on scales studies, or technique books that can
help me develop an independent and surety of my finger positions. I
frequently squeak because my fingers moved or didn't cover the holes
properly. I am in the process remedying the problem with my teacher and I
was hoping for additional help from anyone on the list. Any good
suggestions are welcome! Soo

Soo, try Abe Galper's book titled "Tone , Technique, and Staccato"
published (now) by Mel Bay. Very, very good book. Check it out.
