    Flutists' Family Tree : in Search of the American Flute School / by Demetra

    FLUTISTS’ FAMILY TREE: IN SEARCH OF THE AMERICAN FLUTE SCHOOL DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Demetra Baferos Fair, M.M. ***** The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Professor Katherine Borst Jones, Adviser Approved by Professor Lois Rosow Professor Christopher Weait Adviser School of Music Copyright by Demetra Baferos Fair 2003 ABSTRACT For decades, American flutists have sought to identify specific traits that define their playing as a whole. While the “French School” has been characterized by a preoccupation with tone, a standard repertoire, and set of teaching materials written by Paris Conservatoire professors, no such definition can yet be set forth for the “American School.” This document provides a clear starting point for research into the what, where, why, and how of the “American Flute School” by first identifying who is associated with that school. By tracing the lineage of transverse flute playing from teacher to student through the past 300 years, we may identify orchestral flutist, soloist, and teacher, Georges Barrère, as a primary influence upon American flute playing. Barrère and his students – and his students’ students – have taught approximately 91% of all living flutists in the United States today. Of that vast number, approximately 87% can trace their heritage (through one or more of their teachers) to Barrère student William Kincaid, renowned flutist of the Philadelphia Orchestra and pedagogue at the Curtis Institute of Music. It is important to note that most modern musicians study with more than one teacher over the course of their career (usually between three and eight).

There are many excellent flutes produced in the world. Countless small companies are making high quality instruments and there has never been so wide a selection to chose from. So why are so many discerning musicians consistently choosing Yamaha over all these others? There are three big reasons: 1. Unique Craftspeople Most of our artisans are musicians themselves and joined Yamaha because of their love of music. And all are powerfully driven by the same dream: that of creating the world's most perfect flutes. For more than 30 years Yamaha artisans have been studying the greatest instruments of the past, learning what made those traditional flutes so rare and wonderful—and also discovering their weaknesses and how to correct them. That's why Yamaha flutes, which so many of the world's greatest players already consider to be the best, just keep getting better. - Triaha's I.Tnique Cornor• Strengths Yamaha has many special resources behind its products which are simply not available to other manufacturers. Backing up the craftspeople and designers who create our flutes are a whole range of specialists and scientists doing original research on factors which affect tone, intonation, response, etc. Our metallurgists and other experts even go so far as to minutely analyze the basic materials used in the making of flutes for the best sound quality and durability.
