AMEB Flute Series 4 Grade 3

The AMEB Flute Series 4 Grade 3 Grade Book is designed to support teaching and learning for beginner flautists working towards their Grade 3 examination. Compiled, edited and published by AMEB, this book provides a structured pathway that aligns with the expectations of Grade 3 in terms of musicality and technical comprehension, making it suitable for students progressing through formal flute tuition in Australia.

The repertoire for this volume has been researched and curated by acclaimed Australian flautist and educator Jocelyn Fazzone. The selection is broad and stylistically diverse, featuring works by Australian and female composers and arrangers alongside established classical repertoire. Pieces include compositions by Firth, Gariboldi, Köhler, Quantz, Rae, Barsanti, Kuhlau, Mozart, Ruge, Telemann, Bailey, Chaminade, Kullak, Prokofiev, and Taggart. The book introduces techniques and concepts for playing the flute at an early stage, helping students develop vital technical skills through logical educational progressions.

This Grade Book is the recommended resource for students preparing for the AMEB Flute Grade 3 Classical examination. It is best used alongside supplementary AMEB resources such as the 2012 Flute Technical Work and 2012 Flute Sight-reading books, which support a complete examination preparation programme.
