Urgent question -
How many notes to a slur for gd1 flute scales and arpeggios? And are the scales all even notes or is the tonic long?
Help!

The notes are all even. The whole scale should be slurred if possible, but a lot of mine need a breath after the tonic at the top (although the rhythm of the scale should not be disturbed by the breath).

Hope this helps. smile.gif

Thankyou. So just to clarify, you tongue just the first note of each slurred scale and arpeggio? Or do you tongue the last note as well?
And is it just 3 pieces out of the book - no separate study anymore?

You tongue just the first note, yes. The studies are in List C as they always have been, and you will find three of them in the book, along with three each from List A and List B. List A and List B pieces are accompanied, List C pieces are unaccompanied.
