As a teacher who specializes in working with adult amateur musicians, I HAD to create a list of intermediate flute solos! You guys ask all the time about this.
My belief is, if you're playing from the "intermediate level" Rubank book, or know a handful of scales and can keep up with about 50% of your band music, you're at the intermediate level!
When learning flute, I think it's super important to play scales, etudes and solo pieces to challenge ourselves and broaden our musical skills. So when you're looking for some solos and etudes to play, here are my favorite ones for intermediate flutists!!
l'Arlésienne 2nd Menuet by Bizet
Pan by Donjon
Syrinx by Claude Debussy
Schumann Oboe Romances
Garibaldi Etudes Mignonnes
Telemann Fantasias (a great precursor to learning Bach)
CPE Bach Sonata in A Minor Lastly, in addition to having lots of scales and challenging pieces to play, it's helpful to have a practice plan! You can download our free personalized practice plan to get started on your goals today. It's also really helpful to seek out a teacher, or have some group accountability like we have in Virtual Woodwind Academy. Happy practicing!
