fluteler creates "play-along" flute duet videos. In these YouTube
videos, bars of music scroll across the screen while a flute plays one of
the parts. This lets a viewer play the other part in duet with the flutist.
Each video contains several repeats, each one faster, so that a student
may build up sight-reading and tempo skills.
fluteler has a blog, Fluteler's Delight, which lists his play-along videos
in performance order. Here is the list from his blog...

Exercise tools.
1) The Hard Part - Boismortier. These videos contain the two
hardest measures from the Boismortier. They repeat and repeat,
speeding up very slowly. The artist can identify and correct
physical problems as they appear. For fluteler, this meant laying
the right hand down on a table and stretching the ring finger
backwards very gently until it could lift itself easily off the table.
After the tendons were stretched, the fingers became nimbler.
1st of 3 -- Bois Gavotte - The Hard Part - 60-118 beats per minute.
2nd of 3 -- Bois Gavotte - The Hard Part - 100-200 bpm.
3rd of 3 -- Bois Gavotte - The Hard Part - 180-300 bpm.
2) The Accelerating Metronomes. These metronomes tick for
eight beats at one tempo, then eight beats at a tempo a bit faster,
etc. They are "the hard part" audios with the metronome track
playing instead of the flute.
Make up a short exercise and watch yourself play it faster and
faster and faster.
Then design a better exercise. You know you can. Play that one
faster and faster. Again, as speed increases, problems will
appear. If they can't be overcome immediately, just move the
music cursor back to where you were having a good time and play
forward from there.
Even if your name is already Espresso Prestissimo, you can edge
your way into faster fluting.
1st Accelerating Metronome - - 30-60 bpm -- slowest.
2nd Accelerating Metronome - - 50-100 bpm - medium.
3rd Accelerating Metronome - - 90-150 bpm - fastest.
These metronomes will slow down toward the end of their cycle to
help the musician find the way back to solid ground if needed.
One can also use these accelerating metronomes for physical
exercise. You move slowly at first, then ever more quickly.
