The Winter Edition
This winter, I’m opening a new edition of the Flute Challenges.
All challenges are free and available directly on this site.
Each challenge is designed as a short, focused training format that complements regular practice. They are practical, musical, and built around real performance situations.
All challenges are self-guided and can be done at your own pace.
Choose one challenge, or combine several depending on your goals.
A 7-day orchestral excerpt simulator designed to prepare you for auditions, competitions, and other high-pressure performances.
You will train:
-
Reliability under pressure
-
Mental resilience and focus
-
Consistency without warm-up guarantees
-
Presence and musical clarity in exposed situations
This challenge is for players preparing for orchestral auditions or similar professional settings.
The Audition Game
For advanced level and up
A structured and musical approach to scale practice, inspired by Taffanel & Gaubert’s famous No. 4 exercise.
Each day of this 6-day challenge offers a different focus, helping you develop:
-
Control and intonation
-
Awareness of tendencies
-
Evenness, flexibility, and tone
-
A more mindful relationship to daily technique work
This challenge is ideal if you want your scale practice to feel purposeful and musical rather than mechanical.
The Game of Scales
For intermediate level and up
An expressive 8 day challenge inspired by opera repertoire and bel canto style.
The focus is on:
-
Character and phrasing
-
Musical intention
-
Sound imagination
-
Playing beyond the notes
This challenge invites you to explore personality and expression and learn how to sing on the flute.
The Prima Donna Flute Challenge
For intermediate level and up
The Fall Edition
Regain your sound, clarity, stamina, flexibility, finger technique, and articulation in a short time.
This is a chance to reset—to open a clean slate, free of old habits that may have been holding you back.
Each day balances warm-ups, technical drills, and music-making to help you build confidence and get inspired.
The program is designed to improve breath control, tone, technique, and endurance. You will probably want to use some of the exercises in your practice after the challenge is over!
One étude a day.
A carefully curated collection of etudes, thoughtfully designed to complement each other.
Each day’s étude focuses on new skills, gradually building technique, articulation, sound, musicality, and more.
Beginner: Recommended with a minimum of 3 -4 years of playing experience.
Focus points: finger technique, tone quality, simple articulation, and rhythm control.
Intermediate: Recommended with a minimum of 5 years of playing experience.
Focus points: advanced finger agility, dynamic control, expressive phrasing, articulation, and stamina.
Professional: for student- level and up.
Focus points: rapid finger passages, extreme articulation, endurance, complex rhythms, and expressive depth.
40 days of focused, structured practice with one legendary method by one of the greatest flute masters, Marcel Moyse.
A deep dive into tone, finger technique, and articulation—guided and goal-oriented.
This challenge is built around two of his legendary books: De la Sonorité and Gammes et Arpèges.
👉 You’ll need a copy of both in order to participate.
The 40 days are divided into 8 phases of 5 days each, with every phase focusing on a different theme, approaching Moyse’s exercises from new angles, helping us discover extra layers of benefit in the practice.
