Course of
Study

Introduction

The pieces on this list, generally speaking, are basic repertoire for a serious flutist and need to be studied at some level, some time. Advanced students could be a year or two ahead of these suggestions in some areas. Years five and six are more indications of further repertoire for advanced undergraduates than a syllabus for graduate students.

Students are urged where at all possible to buy their music which should be treated as an investment. When library copies are used the student does not have lifetime access to the important notations made during study. Photocopied music is illegal and must not be brought to lessons.
