From the introduction:
"This guide breaks down The Flight of the Bumblebee and creates loops or exercises out of the solo. In some cases it is as simple as repeating one bar of music over and over. In other cases excerpts of the solo are made to help you focus on certain fingers or problematic intervals. Each page is not meant to be played through like an etude. Set your metronome, play through the first loop numerous times. Take a short break (this is extremely important in practicing any repetitive motion). Then, play through the next loop. Once you practice through the full page of loops, performing that segment of The Flight of the Bumblebee should sound easier and flow well from your instrument."
From the back cover:
"Bumblee Loops is a guide to improve your speed and musicality on the solo "The Flight of the Bumblebee," but it goes deeper to help you work out and improve the sound and artistry of any musical passage. Meant for violin, flute, or clarinet but useful to any musician.
Chris Jones serves up tips and hundreds of bite-sized musical excerpts to help you:
- Identify messy and uneven intervallic and rhythmical flaws
- Increase your focus and practice discipline
- Execute smooth, clean, fast, elegant technique that blossoms musicality
- Apply these tools to any tough musical passage"
