Reviews

“Andy Scott is a consumate musician. He knows about a wide variety of music, can write and play in these styles with great expertise, and is a dynamic teacher in these areas as well. I've had the pleasure of working with Andy at the RNCM numerous times, and he always displays a great enthusiasm and focus in what he does. We need more teachers and players, and, most importantly, instigators to keep the music fresh and moving forward."

Bob Mintzer

"With such a wide variety of instrumentation, performers and styles of music, this CD would appeal equally to performers, teachers, students and anyone with an interest in the flute. It offers an excellent introduction to this new repertoire for flute, offering material for both concert performance and study purposes, all of which is available in sheet music form through Astute Music. With 75 minutes of music, this recording represents great value for money and comes highly recommended."
