REPERTOIRE FOR APPLIED STUDY IN FLUTE
(*suitable for concerto competitions)
Selected Flute Repertoire: A Graded Guide for Teachers and Students (National Flute Association, Inc., 2nd ed.: 2004) and its companion, Selected Flute Studies: A Graded Guide of Etudes, Daily Studies, and Method Books (National Flute Association, Inc.: 2005), are excellent resources for choosisng solo repertoire appropriate to a student's ability. The Repertoire list has ten levels from A (beginner) to J (advanced) but does not cover professional-level material. The list of study materials also includes Level K. In general, Level G is appropriate for a first-year music major, and Levels H, I, and J for second-, third-, and fourth-year students respectively.
