Flute Solos: Piano Acc. Book

This collection gives you a curated set of performance pieces that work for advancing flutists without requiring them to hunt through multiple sources. The thoughtful pairing of flute solos with piano accompaniments means your students can experience real recital and contest scenarios, and the correlation to First Division Band Course materials makes it easy to integrate into your existing curriculum.

You get a diverse range of contest and recital standards, each selected to be gratifying without overwhelming an advancing player. Working with a pianist transforms the solo experience from solo study into genuine chamber music making.

Flutists in the advancing intermediate range (around Grade 2-3 proficiency) who are preparing for recitals or solo competitions. This book serves students ready to move beyond unaccompanied exercises into accompanied repertoire that demands thoughtful musicianship.

• Work through the piano part during your initial learning phase. Understanding the harmonic context and accompanying figures helps shape phrasing and intonation.
• Use the page count strategically: with 44 pages of material, you can rotate through pieces across the semester rather than memorizing one solo at a time.
• Mark your breathing points before rehearsals with piano. This prevents stumbling during accompaniment entries and builds confidence in live performance.

Assign selections from this collection to different flute students based on their current level and contest calendar. The varied repertoire means you can program solos across multiple concerts throughout the school year, and the piano accompaniment provides a professional sound even at smaller venues.

• Maintaining consistent tone and intonation while listening to harmonic accompaniment
• Coordinating entrances and releases with a pianist
• Shaping melodic phrases with awareness of harmonic support
• Building confidence in accompanied solo performance contexts
