Alto Flute
Where is alto flute music?
I am lucky enough to own an alto flute (it may not be the best quality but hey, it’s an alto flute). The thing is I’ve had it for 3-4 years now and haven’t played a single song on it. It is because of the lack of flutes at my school (Damonte Ranch High School if any are from the area) that are interested in doing a flute ensemble.
I tried starting one last year, having the music and everything, but no one showed up and the people that did, didn’t really practice (or so I have been lead to believe). So does anyone know of some good solo pieces for an alto flute or maybe an alto flute – flute duet?
www.fluteworld.com. The problem, if you want to call it that, with alto flute is that it is a transposing instrument – it is pitched in G. That is why I bought a BASS flute instead – although my husband says “oh look – she’s playing the floor lamp again!”. The entire world is open to you for solo playing, if you transpose everything, or use the recorded-layer method us just thinking that the KEYS are different (all LH would be D, not G).
There is a lot of flute ensemble music – too bad you cannot get some people to join you. See if there is a branch of the Flute Club near you – you can Google for their website – and join the group THEY have. I will be starting a flute choir here about 100 miles north of NYC – but maybe not until almost a year from now, since I have MANY performance commitments.
Hope you have a recurve head on that alto – watch out for discomfort and possible playing injuries. Good luck!
