Pro Art Flute and Piccolo Method, Book II: Flute Book

This book picks up exactly where students need momentum to continue their technical growth. Pease structures the material with clear progression in both technique and musicality, so second-year students stay engaged rather than plateauing through repetitive drills.

A thoughtful progression that respects where students actually are in their development. The material feels achievable yet challenging, moving students beyond basic mechanics into more nuanced control and expression.

Second-year flute students in either private lessons or class instruction settings. This book assumes students have completed a first-year method and are ready to deepen their technical vocabulary and musical understanding.

• Work through the exercises daily in short sessions rather than marathon practice blocks; consistency over duration builds solid fundamentals.
• Record yourself playing the same passage twice a week and listen back to track improvements in tone and intonation.
• Pair technical studies with the musical pieces in the book to connect finger work with expressive phrasing right away.

Assign this as the core text for your second-year flute curriculum, whether you're teaching individuals or a class. The 48-page structure fits neatly into a school year of regular instruction.
