So that students can with accompaniment from the very beginning, this book has piano parts and flute duets for the simplest pieces, through to more advanced pieces.

Most of the piano accompaniments are easy to play, even for flute teachers with limited piano skills. If you have no piano skills, don’t panic! ALL the piano parts are available as free backing tracks on The Young Flute Player YouTube channel. The speed of backing tracks can be adjusted to suit the student and there are also recordings of the duets, plus flute and piano performances.

To keep the student method books (Books 1 and 2) uncluttered and easy to read for young players, the teacher’s flute duet parts are found in Book 3.
