Flute Repertoire
With this Repertoire collection, flutists will acquire
a heightened appreciation for their instrument
by learning pieces written for flutists, by flutists.
From elementary works by Robert Dick, Kathryn
Cernauskas, Paul Horn, and Susan Piltch, to more
advanced repertoire by Ian Clarke, Gary Schocker,
and Robert Aitken, flutists will enjoy exploring and
extending their musical palette.

Flute Studies
The two volumes of Flute Studies (Preparatory–4
and 5–8) contain pieces that have been carefully
selected to introduce an extensive range of styles and
lay a solid foundation for the technique required in
the corresponding level of repertoire. Emphasis has
been placed on balancing traditional studies with
jazzy selections, imaginative character pieces, and
innovative compositions that introduce extended
techniques and graphic notation.
Compact Discs
Recordings of each piece in the Repertoire and Studies
volumes offer inspiration, a model for performance
practice, and the opportunity to play along with some
of North America’s finest flutists and accompanists.
Orchestral Excerpts
Orchestral Excerpts is a unique compilation designed
to introduce the younger flute student to the world
of orchestral repertoire while offering more advanced
players the essential selections they will invariably
need for auditions. This single volume also serves
as a general study resource for cultivating a solid
grounding in standard orchestral literature. Carefully
Flute Technique
Flute Technique has been designed to assist students
in building a technical foundation gradually
and logically from the very first level of study
(Preparatory) through to the advanced stages of
musical development (Level 10). The technical
exercises are selected and organized to complement
The majority of the Repertoire collection comprises
works originally written for flute and piano or
solo flute; however, a few transcriptions of familiar
melodies have been included in the series. In
addition, flutists will encounter refreshing new
interpretations of traditional pieces at the earliest
levels and newly commissioned figured-bass
realizations of Baroque pieces throughout. The pieces
in each Flute Repertoire book are divided into lists
according to style or stylistic period.
List B List C
Lyrical Repertoire
Romantic, 20th-, and
21st-century Repertoire
Romantic, 20th-, and Unaccompanied Repertoire
21st-century Repertoire (Baroque–Contemporary)
With a wide range of pieces offered in these volumes,
teachers will be able to select studies for each
student that address specific technical challenges.
Far from being solely mechanical exercises, many of
these studies have been chosen for their expressive
capabilities, allowing students to simultaneously
develop their technique and musicality.
The Compact Discs for each level are conveniently
packaged with the corresponding Repertoire and
Studies books.
selected to cover a range of styles and eras, these
excerpts were chosen as much for their technical
demands as for their beauty. From Dvořák and Haydn
to Debussy, Prokofiev, Beethoven, and Stravinsky,
students can explore both familiar and less familiar
works to grasp a better understanding of the flute’s
role within the orchestra.
the repertoire, studies, and orchestral excerpts that
students are learning at the same level, and to prepare
adequately for the challenges of the next level. By
studying the material for their level over the course
of the year, students should find that they are well
prepared to meet these challenges.

Using only the headjoint of the flute, many different sound can be discovered. The notation of this etude is
cresc. approximate: pitch is shown vertically and time is shown horizontally, reading from left to right, but exact pitch and
time is up to you! As you blow, slide the index finger of your right hand into the open end of the headjoint. The
pitch will go down. As you slide your finger out, the pitch will go up. Move your finger according to the shape of
the line.

Orchestral Excerpts
One of the joys of being a musician is playing
music with others, whether that involves
playing duets, performing in a school band,
or eventually joining an orchestra. Orchestral
Excerpts is an indispensable resource for the
developing years and beyond. From the earliest
levels of flute study, students will establish a
repertory of great orchestral works, and be
encouraged to familiarize themselves with the
entire scores to better understand the context of
each excerpt.
Orchestral Excerpts spans a broad spectrum
of musical development, from Level 2 to
performance-level repertoire (ARCT). At the
ARCT level, where players often have begun
mastering piccolo as well as flute, they have the
option of substituting certain piccolo works.

Flute Technique

Flute Technique is designed to allow students to
develop strong technique through a structured
method, yet allow teachers to teach according to their
own personal style.
The study of all technical exercises in this book
should be cumulative; the selection of keys,
articulations, and minimum tempo requirements
at each level were determined with examination
purposes in mind. To facilitate examination
preparation, a chart of articulation patterns for all
levels and an overview chart for each level have been
included so that students and teachers can see at a
glance what is required and plan their course of study
accordingly.
This volume embraces a progressive approach: the
keys listed for each level become increasingly difficult,
the pitch range gradually expands, and the octave
span extends from one to two and finally three
octaves. In Levels Preparatory­–6, the presentation
of keys is by major and relative minor keys according
