Master Solos, Intermediate Level: Flute & Piano (Book/ Online Audio)

I absolutely love it! I have only played the first song. However, so far I am very impressed. I don't necessarily need the instruction (I've been playing inconsistently for over 6 yrs), but it is nice to have since I didn't have a private teacher but for one year and missed a lot of the instruction that can come with that. The accompaniment is included and played on my laptop. It has two tracks for each song, one with the flute playing and one without. I've only listened to the tracks for the first song and it did a verbal countdown which makes it inconvenient if you want to perform any of the songs and don't have a pianist.

This music is so very beautiful. I haven't played my flute for such a long time. I had a cd with Entracte on it. So, when I play, it feels like being in symphony band again. I couldn't do it twice in a row, and not screw up. But, my church had a talent contest thing, and I played my flute with the full "orchestra". I WOW'ed everybody. I still can't believe I got up there in front of so many people. I'm shy.

These are great to work with, some easier than others, some difficult. There's a 'lesson' on the page before each selection that's very helpful. Also a complete piano score is included, along with the play along CD. Each track on the CD features a solo flute and then the accompaniment only. Although you only get 8 pieces, they are very nice.

I am an adult flute student and don't have a teacher. This book is wonderful for someone like me, because each piece is preceded by a lesson about the upcoming piece, practice passages, and technique discussion. The pieces are challenging, but not impossible. I do wish the CD offered a slower practice track. Instead, there is only a full-speed track with a professional flutist playing, and then a full-speed performance track with just accompaniment.

My daughter is a junior in high school and is in her sixth year playing flute. This music is perfect for her level. The music is challenging and is accompanied by a CD to clarify any difficulties. She is pursuing one piece for her governor's School audition and one piece for her solo and ensemble piece. We will look for packaging similar to this in the future.

I did this book in high school for solo and ensemble looking forward to play this for my audition for my college band

It is good, but there is better out there. Would still recommend.
