Le Petit Negre was originally composed by Claude Debussy (1862-1918) in 1909. The purpose was to write a great work that could also played by children. Jan Merry made the piece even more accessible at the beginning of the 20th Century by arranging it for Flute and Piano. Le Petit Negre is marked Allegro and begins with a theme modelled on ragtime music a style which was very popular at the time of composition. Jazz influences the C major key signature 2/4 meter and upbeat features make for an exciting and accessible piece for all flautists and pianists. Merry's arrangement ofDebussy's Le Petit Negre is a thrilling addition to the repertoire.

Edited by Robert King and published by Alphonse Leduc 70 Studies for B flat Tuba – Volume 1 by Vladislav Blazhevich contains the first 42 studies out of 70. These studies do not correspond to a method for Tuba and it is generally understood that 70 studies are actually inspired from another piece of work from Blazhevich: 'Clef Studies for Trombone' even though 13 of these 70 studies did not appear in it. They were not transposed for Tuba but adapted for this instrument. These studies have become part of the basic teaching methods and these books are some of the most-mentioned studybooks for Tuba which became very popular. While they help to develop Tuba techniques they can be used by different age ranges and different skill ranges. Vladislav Blazhevich (1881-1942) is a Russian Tuba player conductor and professor. He was also an incredible composer who created many methods for Wind instruments as well as concerti studies and musical pieces. Robert King (1914-1999) is an American editor who was specialised in Brass composition. He created the 'Brass Player’s Guide' in the 1950s and developed a strong relationship with Alphonse Leduc Éditions.

The first volume of the Complete Flute Method by Giuseppe Gariboldi this edition has been reviewed and edited by Jan Merry. The finger positions articulations and breathing have been added to the method where necessary as well as some helpful advice has been included. This particularly melodic method starts with some theory basics and covers all beginner needs such as scales rhythms and trills among others using some small studies or exercises. Even though most of the Flute now uses the Boëhm method the book has kept the old eight?key Flute tablatures. This volume of Complete FluteMethod is completed by a second volume also available at Alphonse Leduc. Giuseppe Gariboldi (1833-1905) is an Italian flautist and composer who wrote numerous pieces for Flute. Most of his study books are still used to teach the Flute including '20 Little studies Op. 132' or 'Daily exercises Op. 89'.

Written by the French flautist and composer Marcel Moyse The Beginner Flautist is a method for Flute beginners.

These 26 pages consist of thirteen lessons in two pages the first one to learn the technique and to develop a good sonority and the second to progress with these. If the player encounters difficulties with tempo or breathing for example they could work on the first page of eachlesson and come back later on the second ones once more technique has been acquired. Considered as a maestro by some musicians Marcel Moyse (1889-1984) has composed many Flute methods and exercise books that are also published by Alphonse Leduc such as 'Gammes et Arpèges' (1933) 'De la Sonorité' (1934) and 'Mécanisme-Chromatisme' (1927). His methods are widely used and recognised worldwide.
