What this beginner collection includes

Easy flute is a beginner-oriented grouping of flute sheet music, not an examination syllabus. The scores named here are 'Ah! vous dirais-je Maman', 'Barcarola' and 'Scarborough Fair (Ocarina)'. All three are listed with a flute part. The collection is intended as a place to begin, not as a claim that every score is simple throughout.

Opening keys and metres

All three named scores have an opening key signature with no sharps or flats. 'Ah! vous dirais-je Maman' opens in 2/4, while 'Barcarola' and 'Scarborough Fair (Ocarina)' open in 3/4. These details describe the opening only; they do not confirm that the key or metre stays unchanged across the whole piece.

Tempo clues

'Ah! vous dirais-je Maman' has an opening tempo of 132 BPM, and 'Scarborough Fair (Ocarina)' has an opening tempo of 100 BPM. No opening tempo is supplied for 'Barcarola'. Treat an opening tempo as a starting indication rather than a required performance speed, and check the notation for later changes.

Choosing a first score

A useful first step is to compare the opening metre and tempo with what feels comfortable. If 2/4 is familiar, 'Ah! vous dirais-je Maman' may be a logical place to look; if 3/4 is more comfortable, compare 'Barcarola' and 'Scarborough Fair (Ocarina)'. Read through the score before deciding, because a simple opening does not rule out later challenges.

Common questions

What is easy flute sheet music for a beginner?

It is not an examination result, and it is not a syllabus.

What flute songs should a beginner start with?

Start with the flute scores named first on this page. They are the most-viewed files that pass the short-file rule. Listen, then practise one hand at a time.

That value is not an examination result.

Why is a simple flute song missing?

A file is left out when its part name is not exactly flute, when its complexity value is not the lowest one, or when its duration or note count falls outside the selection rule. A title that calls the music simple is not enough.

How do I practise beginner flute sheet music?

Open an easy flute score, listen with Play, then practise one hand at a time. Left selects the lower staff and Right selects the upper staff. You can change the playback tempo. Connect MIDI in a compatible browser if you want to play from a keyboard.

Is 'Scarborough Fair (Ocarina)' actually for flute?
