Flute Duets Grade 3-5
Dear Jen
I was wondering if you might have some nice flute duet suggestions that have music at about grade 3-5. When I look at some websites like Flute World I am overwhelmed trying to decide what might work. We have played several from Ricky Lombardo and the Voxman Selected Flute Duets - both volumes as well as: Album of Flute Duets edited by Louis Moyse and Telemann 6 Canonic Sonatas. In solo work I am working on Faure and Gluck.
I would like to try some classical from a bit more of the Romantic period but I am open to any ideas. I just think I would like some different composers from Mozart and Beethoven and Bach although I do love them.
Many thanks for your time. L.

Dear L,
Flute teachers too are always on the lookout for good duet books for this level, other than the excellent basic titles you already mentioned.
Here is the link to all the flute duet titles I've collected over the years of online searches with flute teacher's suggested titles. And I'd would love to know if readers have found any stellar titles too. (comment button below).
Here's a list of duets for two flutes to check out:
Standard Duet Titles:
Graded list of flute duets.
Just Flutes graded flute duets list.
( Note - an orange "thumbs up" symbol means "recommended repertoire". Grades are ABRSM grading, UK system.)
Celtic Duets:
Grade 3-6*: Celtic Duets - Jessica Walsh/Allen Alexander books:
See "How to make duets from these for 2 flutes with or w/o CD":
Other titles to check out at the sheetmusic stores: you'll have to actually look at these to know if they're suitable for your needs.
Classical/Romantic Duets: I don't own these books, but they are all typically good editors: Wye, McCaskill, Hunt etc.
