1. Can anyone reccomend a piccolo book for me to use, which has quite a lot of technical studies in please?

2. Is it possible for me to play a piccolo piece for one of my performances? ie, are there pieces with piano accompaniment that I could play?

Thanks

Liz Goodwin (of Flutewise) has written some piccolo books, I think.

Why, yes there are, not many though as far as I'm aware. I've seen Vivaldi Piccolo Concertos for Piccolo and Piano!

If you go to the Just Flutes website, scroll down on the music catalgoue, it has a whole host of piccolo music.

use Pat Morris's Piccolo Practic ebook. It's great. Though if you have technical flute studies, then just use those on piccolo. Pat's book has loads of really good piccolo advice in it too. She's amazing..........she taught me piccolo!

I did piccolo as part of my degree at the RNCM, and for a recital, one of the pieces that I played was by Proust, called Les Quatre Elements........Fire, Air, Water and whatever the other one is!!!! Was a really good piece

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the flute go down to something like a B, and the piccolo only to a D or something? If so, how can you use flute studies which go below the piccolo range?

I just use studies & excercises that don't go below a D, and if it does I just don't play that particular note

exactly!

The flute generally goes to C, though sometimes to a B. The piccolo only goes to D but that doesn't stop you using a vast amount of very good studies written for the flute
