  1. Amy Porter –

    “Fantastic. Unlock that door and walk into the modal sunshine!”
    -Amy Porter, Professor of Flute, University of Michigan

  2. Joanna Bassett –

    “In Modal Flute Warmup, Laura Lentz guides us thoughtfully through the creative process of awareness and discovery, with simple and beautifully written exercises for the body and musical mind. With warmups as our mantras, the use of modes and improvisation offers a fresh approach to a colorful sound. Her book is enlightening for the evolving and seasoned musician alike!”

    Joanna Bassett, Associate Dean at the Hochstein School of Music, President Rochester Flute Association

  3. Camilla Hoitenga –

    “I love this book!! The well-thought-out and clearly presented ideas and exercises are both enjoyable and inspiring. A very special and useful addition to every flutist’s library.”
    — Camilla Hoitenga, Concert Artist

  4. Rebecca Gilbert –

    “Laura gives us a fresh look at harmony and color with her new book. The exercises unfold like an impressionist introducing shades of light and lead a flutist through a kaleidoscope of modes as a framework for understanding emotional expression in sound.”
    — Rebecca Gilbert, principal flutist of Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra

  5. Lea Pearson –

    “In Modal Flute Warmup Laura has done something extraordinary. She has infused a book about modes, which some might consider a strictly technical exercise, with love, passion, expression, history, harmony, improvisation, and the delicacy of embouchure and movement – essential tools for every flutist.”
    — Lea Pearson, DMA, author

  6. Kathleen Weidenfeller –

    “Laura, THANK YOU for finding a way to create a book that encourages awareness and curiosity in practice. An essential work for any flutist who finds themselves disconnected from themselves in practice (as we all can from time to time!)”
    — Kathleen Weidenfeller, DMA, flutist, educator, host of ’The Flute Suite’ podcast

  7. Annette Farrington –

    “Laura’s new flute book, Modal Flute Warmup, is a synthesis of her own approach to playing—that is to play every note with intention, artistry, and curiosity. This book is one we didn’t even know we needed, but so desperately need, because it invites student and veteran flutists alike to dare to play with freedom and curiosity. If you have been searching for a way to find your own unique musical voice on the flute, then this is the book for you.”
    — Annette Farrington, flutist, faculty Nazareth University, Rochester, NY

  8. Jennifer Kennard –

    Modal Flute Warmup is an excellent addition to any flutist’s library and practice as it provides a warm-up model that both inspires and engages the player as they discover new aspects of their sound.”
    — Jennifer Kennard, DMA, educator, NFA Special Publications Committee

  9. Laura Pillman Patterson –

    Modal Flute Warmup is a comprehensive method divided into two main sections: “Start to
    Discover,” and “6-Part Modal Warmup.” “Start to Discover” includes reading, exercises, and
    bibliographies on flute essentials such as body awareness, tone, expressive elements, and
    more. “6-Part Modal Warmup” is a more traditional layout of technical exercises in each mode,
    divided by root pitch. These noodly exercises are great for flutists who have mostly focused on
    chromatic, major, and minor patterns. Some exercises switch between harmonics and normal
    tone quality, building in embouchure exercise along with the technical. Lentz includes
    instructions and inspiration throughout for flutists wanting to experiment with improvisation,
    tying into the subheading of her publication: Sound Discovery and Color Palette Expansion.
    Notably, the technical exercises are each preceded by sections called Exploration and Discovery
    that encourage the flutist to consider their tone color, if they use any new fingering
    combinations, experience any new emotions, and how they experience any improvisation.
    Lentz includes handy staves at the end of each modal exercise to transcribe any favorite
    improvisations or transcriptions the flutist wants to remember. This book is perfect for younger
    and experienced players alike, and anyone who wants to refresh their technical routine!
    Laura Pillman Patterson
    Instructor, University of Alabama in Huntsville
