A fresh approach-Flute Sight-Reading 1 aims to establish good practice and provide an early introduction to the essential skill of sight-reading. Sight-reading in some form should become a regular part of a student's routine each time they get out the flute and this book aims to establish the habit early in a student’s learning process. There are 8 sections which in a logical sequence gradually introduce new notes rhythms articulations dynamics and Italian terms - much as you would find in a beginner's flute method. The emphasis is on providing idiomatic tunes and structures rather than sterile sight-reading exercises. Each section contains several solo examples beginning withonly three notes and concludes with duets and accompanied pieces allowing the student to gain experience of sight-reading within the context of ensemble playing.

Overcoming the boundaries between 'serious' and entertaining music was what mattered to the musician Eduard Pütz (1911 2000).

Many of his works were written for children and young instrumentalists to offer them a break from the monotony of classical sonatinas and studies. 'Blue Waltz' is such a treat very easy to play it carefully helps the player to open a listening ear for jazz sounds. The arrangement for accompanied melodic instrument is also suitable for beginner's lessons and the first ensemble playing.

These 24 Studies were specifically written by Boehm from his intimate knowledge of the new flute which was constructed by and named after him. Their purpose was not only to demonstrate that all the 24 keys could be played reliably and smoothly but also to provide technical exercises precisely in those areas where particular practice was necessary. This primary purpose which also embraces the development of a good tone is realised in different musical miniatures (caprices) which demand from the player a well-shaped musical interpretation.

Louis Drouet (1792-1873) much admired virtuoso Flautist composer musical director and opera director was 'a Flautist of truly European standing and sphere of influence'. His method still forms part of today's standard teaching repertoire. The 'Little Sonatas' published here for the first time as a separate new edition constitute the final part of Part 3 of his method. In accordance with the remarks of Drouet who had two different performance versions in mind the sonatas are available in two instrumentations: for two Flutes and for Flute and Piano. The Piano accompaniment with its figured bass realized by GottfriedBach has been turned into a harmonic accompaniment.
