The music covers a wide range of composers, as well as traditional tunes from around the world. There is a selection of festive music, a section of rounds (3-part, 4-part), plus there are warm up exercises, each focusing on one aspect of ensemble technique.

The arrangements offer flexibility; many work either as a Duet or Trio.

There are free recordings of all the pieces on The Young Flute Player YouTube channel. These videos can be adjusted to any speed, so are great for students to practise their part at home.

This book can be used independently, or with the tutor/method books in The Young Flute Player series.
