For beginners I generally use Rubank method. I feel this text is complete and covers all of the material that beginning woodwind players need. The intermediate method has even more material as well as repertoire to start the important process of learning longer pieces of music.

For beginning flute and piano students I start with method books suplimented by some ear training and theory games taught in lessons. I use different method books depending on the student because each method book does not fit every student. That decision is typically made after the trial lesson.
