A fellow flute teacher asked:Jen replies: I have the same range of students; child beginners who need studies that start with three-line etudes comprised of half notes and quarter notes, with simple tonguing and slurring, and also adult beginners. And I also have college-aged novices who have played in highschool band, but have never taken private lessons, and need to advance at a measured pace, but quickly.
These flute students fall into the grades 1 to 5 in the Canadian system of flute grading (RCM exam grades see this link for a chart of comparitive flute grading systems.)
The standard/cheap intermediate book, titled Melodious and Progressive Studies by Cavally is more like an RCM grade 6 to 8, which is too challenging, so I too had to purchase simpler etude books and try them all out.
Firstly, in your own search, a great guide to all recommended etude books is the 2005 Selected Flute Studies, A graded guide, published by the NFA. It is $7 and worth twice the price.
The NFA guide is put together by grades A-K which roughly translate to grades 1-10 in the Royal Conservatory Exam system. No teacher should be without this and the other small booklet 'Recommended Flute Solos'. Fabulous! Order both at once.
Secondly, there are some standard and inexpensive etude books that have been around for a long time that fit this novice/beginner flute level. They are:
Endressen - Supplementary Studies for Flute (Rubank)
Vester - 125 Easy Classical Studies for Flute (Universal)
Bantai Kovacs - Selected Studies Volume 1 (Editio Musica)
Thirdly, with community college students who are not necessarily interested in 'classical music' there are two study books that are fairly modern-sounding that might be suitable:
James Rae - 40 Modern Studies &
Damase -Fifty Easy and Progressive Studies
Both the modern etude books focus on flute skills without sounding like classical music and for jazz-cross-over college students they are very useful for self-advancement during practise.
Also, a standard, graded list of etudes for flute can be found here on my site based on the RCM syllabus.
I might mention some sources that might interest you as well.
At the above link you'll find that for that the early grades there are two Gariboldi etude books listed: .
Gariboldi - 30 Easy and Progressive Studies can be found on the CD-rom of home-printable etudes/methods/ensembles by cdsheetmusic.com
This great CD-rom also has hundreds of home-printable etudes and duets, including two old flute method books: The Altes Method, and The Wagner Method. They both contain decent, useable material as well as scales of all kinds. I urge college aged students to buy these two flute CD-roms and print out their own sheetmusic from them, hole punch the pages, and binder them. Very economical.
If your students purchase the CD-rom of sheetmusic Etudes/Duets/Ensembles, they'll be able to use the grade 5-10 etudes later in their development. A list of the good ones from that self-printable disc is at this link to my Favourite repertoire page with all the best etudes from the CD-rom listed individually.
The other great Gariboldi for RCM grade 4 flutists is the opus 131 Mignonnes Etudes, which are online for free in pdf under the tranlated title 'DAINTY STUDIES' (hilarious!) These are truly great; I really enjoy them myself.
Other titles from the NFA guide that are recommended are:
Lombardo - 14 Melodious Studies (Alry)
Moyse - 24 Petites Etudes Melodiques
Harris/Adams - 76 Graded Studies for Flute vol. 1
My only problem with the Harris-Adams is that the books seem too cheaply bound, with thin, see-through paper,faded ink, and very small print.
For child flutists and adult beginners, however, I would stick with
the sequential volumes of Bantai Kovacs collected etudes. They have a good mixture of 'classic etudes' at the grade 4-7 level. They are by folks like Devienne, Popp and Kohler, and start with etudes of short length that sound tune-filled to the novice ear.
This link shows Bantai Kovacs volume 1 collection at fluteworld.com.
For scales, I tend to write out my own versions, as there is no one scale book that has all the variations that I like to use. I found the inexpensive 'Pares Scales' book to be unusable because of it's boring presentation, and double-octave printing of scales. Horri-blech!!! :>(
But I am interested to see this scale book by the Associated Board Exam systems in the U.K.
It's available at fluteworld.com and has all scales for grade 1-8 and is inexpensive. If anyone has used this book and thinks it's a good resource, do please comment.
For free online flute scales for the all levels see my scale download page.
Damase Flute Etudes Piano
Finally, for a single $12 book that has both scales and etudes at the intermediate level (RCM grade 6 and up which might suit the more developed community college flutist) I often recommend the McCaskill 'Indispensable Scales, Exercises & Etudes'The etudes in the McCaskill volume overlap with other standard collections (like Cavally Melodious and Progressive Studies by Southern with its Kohler op. 33 and Gariboldi op 132), and are good technique builders in the quickly advancing older student. They also have all the scales and finger exercises you'll need for this level.
Best of luck with your purchases, and do check out my list of 'cheap' flute books that are useful for each level as well as my Favourite Repertoire list. There are a ton of titles for all grades there for a flute teacher to purchase without fear of getting a bad book.

Pascal Zavaro
Ask Pascal Zavaro about the references and inspiration generating or regenerating his music, and he may very well joke his way out by stating a fascinated search for a musical equivalent to Terry Gilliam’s Brazil. Adding that this phantasmagorical movie, with its world of poorly maintained machines and monster flex ducts, reflects a broken and heartbreaking humanity, and that his music is boosted by all the slapstick energy and bitterness.

He could also mention Austrian moviemaker Ulrich Seidl’s Import/Export, a movie that is “a dark, bleak vision of our modern world, showing us what survives of a crushed yet struggling humanity”. If we add sculpture and painting to these influences (Zavaro’s father is a renowned painter), his frequent references to César, Tinguely or Francis Bacon will definitely not appear as mere name-dropping pose. Bacon’s distorted, off-balance figures inspired him Three studies for a crucifixion, for chamber orchestra. When the piece was premiered at Radio-France in 2004, a carried-away audience was swaying along to its outbursts of wistful swing. For Zavaro’s music is something you feel. It has a tactile quality. It is a beat pulse, the echo of a dance (hear this fleeting boogie rhythm? hear that bit of mambo?), the itching of a battery of rhythms,...
