A friendly first flute book for elementary students
The Beginning Flute Fun Book
The first flute lessons should feel like an accomplishment. This colorful, carefully paced method starts with B, A, and G, using easy exercises, clear fingerings, and familiar songs to help young students make music from the beginning.
B, A, and G are introduced in short, approachable exercises.
Fingering diagrams and early note-name guidance support the first lessons.
Songs, rhythm exercises, rounds, and expressive markings build skills gradually.

These six pages trace the journey from fingering and first notes through familiar tunes, ensemble playing, and more complete musical selections. Select a page to see a larger view.
Fingering Made Clear
An easy-to-read chart pairs each note with a large flute fingering diagram. Beginners can check hand position and finger combinations as their range expands.
The Very First Notes
Short exercises introduce B and A with note names printed inside the noteheads. Students can focus on making a comfortable sound before tackling more demanding reading.
A Familiar First Tune
Half notes are introduced alongside Hot Cross Buns. The short, recognizable melody helps children hear the rhythms they are learning to count.
Songs Students Recognize
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star and Ode to Joy reinforce reading while introducing D.C. al Fine and D.S. al Fine, two useful musical road signs.
Playing with Others
Are You Sleeping? is arranged as a four-part round. The page also introduces soft and loud dynamics and develops expressive playing.
Growing Musical Confidence
Simple Gifts and Amazing Grace offer fuller melodies and expressive markings, showing the progress students can make beyond the first notes.
