AMEB Flute Series 4 Grade 1

The AMEB Flute Series 4 Grade 1 Grade Book is designed to support beginner flautists undertaking the AMEB Flute Grade 1 Classical examination. Compiled, edited and published by AMEB, this book provides a structured introduction to flute playing with repertoire and teaching content appropriate for students at the earliest stages of their musical journey.

Repertoire has been researched and curated by acclaimed Australian flautist and educator Jocelyn Fazzone. The selection is broad and stylistically diverse, including works by Australian and female composers and arrangers. The book follows logical educational progressions that align with the comprehension and musicality expected at Grade 1 level, and introduces essential techniques and concepts early to help students build vital technical skills from the outset.

This book is the recommended resource for students preparing for the AMEB Flute Grade 1 Classical examination and is best used alongside related resources such as the 2012 Flute Technical Work and 2012 Flute Sight-Reading books.
