Tune of the Day: Duet in D major by Tulou
This “Etude sans fin” (“Endless study”) is taken from the celebrated Méthode de flûte by French flutist Jean-Louis Tulou, published in Paris in 1835.
Tune of the Day: Adagio by Bellinzani
This short Agadio is the third movement of the eleventh sonata from Sonate a flauto solo con cembalo, o violoncello (“Sonatas for solo flute with harpsichord or cello”) by Italian Baroque composer Paolo Benedetto Bellinzani, originally published in Venice in 1720.
Tune of the Day: Mads Doss
The modern lyrics to this old Danish song were written by poet Steen Steensen Blicher in 1842, but the tune is probably much older. It has notably been recorded by recorder virtuoso Michala Petri, along with a set of variations.
Mads Doss he was but a half-grown boy
who herded sheep in the heather.
Sometimes he cut up the brush for fuel
or bound willow branches together
and fashioned a broom while he sang for a spell,
and when he would call out his voice carried well:
La la la loo, la la la lay — come and I will wait!
Thanks to Phil for suggesting this tune!
Tune of the Day: Study in B-flat major by Hugues
Today’s piece is the twenty-first study from 40 Nuovi Studi, Op. 75, by Italian flutist, composer and arranger Luigi Hugues.
Tune of the Day: Yes I Will Leave My Father’s Halls
This flute duet is taken from Blake’s Young Flutist’s Magazine, published in 1833. The melody was composed by Sidney Waller, who also authored the tunes to “The Sailor’s Tear” and “My Heart’s True Blue”.
Yes I will leave my father’s halls,
To roam along with thee;
Adieu, adieu my native walls!
To other scenes I flee.
Tune of the Day: Allegro by Corelli
This Allegro is the fifth and final movement of Italian Baroque composer Arcangelo Corelli’s Violin Sonata No. 1 in D major, which was originally published in 1700 as part of his 12 Violin Sonatas, Op. 5.
Tune of the Day: Dayenu
This traditional upbeat song, part of the Jewish holiday of Passover, is over one thousand years old. As its title (which means approximately “it would have been enough”) suggests, it is about being grateful to God for all of the gifts that the Jewish people has received.

If you need a more fine-grained search, remember that you can always use the search box and specify the particular instrumentation you need (e.g. “duet” or “piano”) along with your other criteria.

In most cases, flute parts can also be played on different instruments, such as the violin or the oboe. For pieces with an accompaniment, some adaptation is needed when replacing the flute with a transposing instrument such as the clarinet or the saxophone; see our articles for detailed instructions on how to deal with this case.
If you are looking for pieces that suit the piccolo particularly well, check out the Piccolo tunes category.

Browse Tunes by Difficulty Level
All of the pieces in our collection are given a simple difficulty rating. These ratings are only a general indication based on our personal opinion, and there is no direct correspondence to US or UK grades. When grading a piece we to take into account several factors, including key, tempo, note range, uncommon rhythms, articulation, etc.
As a rule of thumb, we only label as “easy” pieces that have a limited number of accidentals, that have few or no high-register notes and wide intervals, and that can be played at a comfortable tempo. We label as “intermediate” those pieces that can be played well by the average amateur after some practice. Finally, we label as “advanced” those pieces that require some considerable effort.
Remember that “easy” does not necessarily imply “trivial”! If played with musicality and sensitivity, an easy piece can be just as beautiful as a difficult one!
If you need a more fine-grained search, remember that you can always use the search box and specify the particular level of difficulty you want (“easy”, “intermediate”, or advanced”) along with your other criteria.

Fingering Charts
Would a sheet music site be complete without a fingering chart? Of course not. To save your time, we have tried our best to create the most clear and easily readable fingering charts available on the Net!
In the following pages you will also find useful information and answers to questions like “When shall I use the B-flat lever”?
Modern Flute, Piccolo, Alto and Bass Flute
- Basic fingerings — All the notes up to the fourth octave.
- Trill fingerings — Includes instructions on how to play trills.
Octave numbering
The numbers written in subscript after the notes refer to the octave number, according to the so-called scientific pitch notation. In this system, C4 is the C right below the staff (middle C on the piano), and A4 is the A right above that, also known as A440 because it is assigned a standard frequency of 440 Hz. On the modern piano, the leftmost key corresponds to A0, while the rightmost key corresponds to C8. If you wonder where this numbering system comes from, it was chosen so that C0 is in the region of the lowest possible audible frequency.
The standard range of the modern C flute is about from C4 to C7. Therefore, the three most commonly played octaves will be numbered 4 (low register), 5 (middle register), and 6 (high register).
Advanced Readings
The most reliable reference for flute fingerings is probably A Modern Guide to Fingerings for the Flute by James Pellerite. That’s one of the most complete guides for the flute ever published. In its 64 pages it covers basic fingerings, trills, tremolos (thirds through octaves), and even quarter-tones and multiphonics! And the best thing is that everything, from dynamics to intonation, is duly explained, so that you will always know which fingering best fits a given passage.

Quick Start Guide
- Allow access to your microphone if prompted.
- Enter the reference pitch. This is usually only needed if your flute is designed to play best when tuned to a pitch center other than A440, or if you are going to play with a fixed-pitch instrument such as a piano. The standard frequency for middle A is 440 Hz, but you may need to tune to 442 Hz or to some other frequency depending on various factors.
- Tune your flute. Play a single note, such as low A or B-flat, and sustain it for a few seconds. The tuner will show the name of the note you are playing. If the red line above the note name stays in the center of the gauge, then the note is perfectly in tune.
- If it stays on the left, you are flat. Push the headjoint in slightly and try again.
- If it stays on the right, you are sharp. Pull the headjoint out slightly and try again.
What is a Tuner?
A tuner is a device capable of accurately detecting the pitch of notes. It can be used for two slightly different purposes: for initial tuning (the one described in the quick start guide), and for checking if you play in tune with yourself.
Playing in Tune
Playing each and every note in tune is an art that takes a lifetime to master. A tuner is a great tool for training one’s ear to hear pitch and determine whether notes are sharp or flat.
An effective way to use a tuner is with long tones: leave the tuner on while practicing them and watch the indicator, adjusting your embouchure each time you get out of tune. Play along with a tuner regularly, and your sense of pitch will grow stronger and stronger!
When tuning individual notes, you should be aware of all the factors that can influence the pitch being played. These factors include embouchure tension, air speed and angle of the air stream.
- If you are sharp, try relaxing your embouchure and aiming your air stream lower.
- If you are flat, make sure you have a strong air stream, and direct the air up toward the ceiling.
Another technique consists in rolling the flute in towards the lips to make a note flatter, or out away from the lips to make the note sharper. Keep in mind, however, that the best way to alter pitch when playing is by moving the lips, not by rolling the flute in or out.
