Welcome to the Flute Research Guide! Here you will find Libraries and online resources on the flute, piccolo, and recorder intended for study as well as appreciation. At Find Books, learn strategies for finding books in OneSearch and scroll through recommended books about the flute, its history, famous performers, and repertoire. At Find Scores, see locations for flute music on library shelves and search for notable works by selected composers. Finally Copyright and Licensing will help you determine the legal dimensions around music you wish to perform. Know of a resource not included in this guide?
