Paul Taffanel

“Methode complete” (Complete Technique) may be the legacy remaining by Taffanel, and his affiliate Gaubert, for teaching the flute. In conjunction with compositions for blowing wind instruments, the technique, and the building blocks from the Societe des Tools a Vent, affected music throughout European countries. Their studies at the Paris Conservatoire under Dorus, who was simply the first ever to educate the Boehm flute in France, it really is no real surprise that Taffanel helped provide the Boehm flute to prominent make use of in France. An advocate of enhanced playing Taffanel may greatest be appreciated for his malleable teaching strategies. He catered to the average person requirements of his learners instead of succumbing to strictures of singular strategies. While playing the flute, the shades of Taffanel’s initiatives were 100 % pure and unpretentious.
