FREE FLUTE MUSIC ONLINE: Free and good flute sheet music on the
net is rare to come by.
As of September 2008 the free sheetmusic sites
that I've found
that have some flute pieces, mostly classical.
modern
and world music, are:
Recently found: best free music source for flute solos, studies, duets in downloadable PDF: http://www.score-on-line.com/freescores.php?collection=flute Gariboldi etudes, J.S. Bach, Telemann Fantasias, Mozart Duets, and more. All free; good copies. http://PublicDomainFlute.4shared.com/ Flute and piano scores, flute duets and misc. old editions. All free flute music, some gems. All public domain scores in pdf sorted by composer or with "flute" as search term: Good for Bach, Telemann and 1 or 2 suprisingly good modern flute editions like Griffes Poem etc. http://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Composers BEST: Flute Technique, Scales & Warmups:
Herbert Lindholm's full bookof
exercises, warmups,
fingerings, scales, trills and technical
practice ideas are in his FLUTE
BASICS manual.
This is the rectangle second from the bottom
when you scroll down on his "free
flute sheetmusic" webpage.
Or go to:
Lindholm's manual is in four parts.
The first has one octave and two octave scales,
Blues scale, chromatic scale etc. Part two has
patterns
to use as daily scale exercises (uses your brain
and trains
your fingers!) lip flexibility exercises, and
Parts three has
tone exercises, octave and third patterns,
tonguing,
multiple tonguing and vibrato.
Part four has both trill and basic fingering
charts.
All four parts print out as 41 pages that can be
hole punched and put in a binder. Help
yourself: Lindholm is a smart flute teacher and very generous. :>)
