Title: Easy Classic Tunes for Flute

Type: Collection
Level: 1B-2
Rating: 2 star(s)

Description: This collection of solos includes helpful "full performance" tracks as well as "backing" or accompaniment tracks. The most unhelpful part of this book is the cover, with a child holding the flute who has obviously not had a flute lesson in his life! The book includes "Poor Wandring One" by Gilbert and Sullivan, "Air on the G String" by J.S. Bach, and "Barcarolle" from The Tales of Hoffmann. Perhaps more appropriate for an intermediate student due to the complexities of rhythm and some difficult key signatures such as A-flat major.
