Q. those familiar with piano probably know about books like the virtuoso pianist by hanon, and i was curious if anyone knew if there were any books like this or similar for flute practice?
A. Good lord, Steve, where's Mamianka when you need her, eh..? :-)
Assuming there would have to be, I did a quick scout and wasn't disappointed. Headed by the great Marcel Moyse's offering, I found these suggested by Prof Lane of the Univ of Sth Carolina:
=====
TECHNICAL EXERCISES
Moyse -- Etudes and Exercises Techniques (Leduc) - some of the most awkward combinations of repetitive passages for flute - usable for more advanced high school students
Robison -- Flute Warmups Book (EAM) - lots of good scale study patterns - high school and some middle school flutists
Taffanel and Gaubert -- 17 Daily Exercises (Leduc) - the âBibleâ of technical studies for many teachers and flutists, using scales, chords, and chromatics - middle and high school flutists can use selectively
Wye -- Practice Book, Vol.2:: Technique and Practice Book, Vol. 3: Articulation (Novello)-scale and chord studies similar to the T & G above, with witty, pithy annotations and instructions - middle and high school

Hopefully this will give you a start at least.
All the best,
Easy way to learn how to learn guitar (lefty)?
Q. I want to learn how to play guitar and i don't even know how to tune a guitar.
How can i learn easily without spending money on lessons?
How am I supposed to hold the guitar?
do I have to use an acoustic? (i only have one of those black and white electric ones)
A. http://www.amazon.com/Totally-Interactive-Guitar-Bible-Hunter/dp/1592236731
I've taught myself, aside from a few informal lessons early on. I've been playing for four years now, and I'm better than most who have been playing for twice as long as me. xP
That book is also relatively cheap, and should teach you basic skills, as well as chords, and many other things to get you jump-started in the music you like.
As for what type of guitar, no, that is purely up to you. I recommend using both, but you wouldn't want to waste money on an acoustic when you don't know how well this endeavor will go anyway. It depends on the type of music. If you want to play Dave Matthews/Jack Johnson/Early John Mayer and things of that nature, I'd go with an acoustic. But if you want to play in a style similar to Nirvana/Steve Vai/Stevie Ray Vaughn, I'd say stick with the electric until you can afford a better one.
Also, since you're lefty, you'd hold it with your right hand on the neck/fretboard (that long thing with the frets) and your left in the location where you pluck/play the strings.
As for tuning, you can use a tuner, or, if you have perfect-pitch or can tune easily by ear, an online tuner or tuned piano would be the route to go. It's a lot less strenuous than going with a tuner, in my opinion. :P
Hope this helps you out. =]
Christian music chords?
Q. i can't find the guitar/piano chords for 'the motions' by matthew West...I've looked all over...does anybody know them?
A. Visit your local Seventh-day Adventist Church this Saturday for Bible Study and Church Service. Then ask to speak with the Music director and he/she should be able to help you.
