FLUTE MUSIC WORTH PLAYING!

Method books and repertoire curated by Australia’s leading flute educators to take you from your first note to professional success

FLUTEWORTHY EDITORS

"We started Fluteworthy in 2009 because we saw a gap. We saw students struggling with methods that didn't feel musical, and teachers looking for a structured path that actually prepared students for the stage. We combined our different worlds—performance, examining, and studio teaching—to create a series of books that feel like a mentor in your music bag." Lamorna, Christine and Jocelyn.
