Flute Teacher | Piano and Flute Lessons with Sarah Kaukinen

Flute Lessons

For the flute program, I use the Standard of Excellence series by Bruce Pearson. This is what's commonly used in high school band classes. I also supplement the program with music from my own library and at the request of students.

Basic theory is included in each book. If more in-depth theory is desired, please let me know and I can work that in!

Books can be purchased online through SheetMusicPlus or ordered in at Music World Academy (443 Simpson St.)

Standard of Excellence Books 1 & 2

"[These books] combine a strong performance-centered approach with music theory, music history, ear training, listening, composition, improvisation, and interdisciplinary and multicultural studies. The result is the most complete band method available anywhere."

―Neil A. Kjos Music Publishing

Standard of Excellence Book 3

"[This book] is a continuation of the strong performace-centered curriculum of Books 1 and 2. It is also an intermediate level band method that introduces students to Western Music History. Students play music from the Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic periods and 20th Century; they learn performance and technical skills within the appropriate historical context. Students are given a complete musical and historical education while advancing toward high levels of musical performance on their individual instruments."
