If a child is very young or very small and they want to learn the flute, I sometimes start them on the Fife first. This is a lightweight and very cheap option and is a great pre - curser to the Flute. The fingering is the same except for Bb and F# and to get round this problem I use the excellent book by Liz Goodwin called "The Fife Book".

This book covers all the usual Flute fingering but it misses out the notes which are not the same as the flute. It offers the pupil a lovely intoduction to music reading and includes many cheerful pieces. At the end of the 10 week course the pupil could continue with the fife or make an easy progression to the Flute.
