Daily Flute Practice
Daily flute practice is similar to an athlete's workout routine.
Start with the basics. - Breathing exercises and long tone exercises. Try de La Sonorite by Marcel Moyse.
- Flute embouchure exercises with intervals. Try 17 Grands Exercices Journaliers by Taffanel and Gaubert.
- Technical studies to train the fingers. There are so many resources here, it's hard to know where to start. Try Technical Flexibility by Geoffrey Gilbert.
- Etudes for specific practice in one area.
Little Melodic Studies with Variations (Easy) for Flute (24 Petites Etudes Melodiques Avec Variations (Facile) Pour Flute) By Marcel Moyse. - Flute orchestral excerpts.
There are many collections, but Orchestral Excerpts for Flute Arranged by Jeanne Baxtresser is a good one. 
 | Orchestral Excerpts for Flute (With Piano Accompaniment) Arranged by Jeanne Baxtresser, Martha Rearick, composed by Various. Piano reduction and instrumental solo book for flute and piano accompaniment. Published by Theodore Presser Company. (PR.414411710) See more info... | - Flute solos.
- Audition material for upcoming events.
Don't skip your flute practice, even when you're feeling tired or down. Your flute teacher can guide you in the specifics of your daily practice. If you don't have a teacher, let your lesson book guide you. A great daily flute practice partner is a CD or Music Minus One recording. CDs are never-tiring accompanists that help with learning notes, matching intonation and rhythm, and learning when to enter. Most widely-available flute music can be purchased with a practice CD for just a few dollars more. It's a wise investment!
