I have an audition in March and I need an easy song for me to play, but one that will be impressive. Im in 8th grade play flute and in begining band,so a pretty easy song. Its an audition for a high scool so I need to impress if I want to get into the music academy. If anybody can help I would greatly appreciate it. I need a fast and slow song to memorize by March 23. THANK YOU!

Some easy but impressive pieces can be:

Play fast: Gossec - "Gavotte"

or Play faster "Tambourin" also by Gossec
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGfVMTWQvaI

or "Badinerie" from Bach that is very easy and impressive

Play Slow and sweetly the "Carmen Entracte":

Gavotte sounds a bit hard! Tambourin sounds fun, I want it! I think Badinerie is quite hard, but good when pulled off! I have put it on 8notes flute sheet music if you want it! What level are you at?

Pyface, I think Tambourin is in D major right? I am not sure the Tambourin on this site is the same or not, (I lost my sheetmusic):

Im on an biggener/easy level.
Thanks for ur help!

Thanks Pyface!! I printed out Badinerie!!! YAY!

Remeber, if you're a beginner, don't play it too fast! I still can't play it to a fast speed! Lol

BTW-I've found tambourin on PDF at http://www.flutetunes.com/tunes.php?id=352

It is in F major. At least Sir James Galway plays it in this exact key!

Tambourin's under show-off pieces!

How about this piece, resonably easy
or the other grade 3 exam peice i have on there.
email me if your interested (i have the piano parts for both aswell, they sound really good with the piano, i have any other songs on the grade 3 silibus, in the book (also grade 5 silibus) and i also have a study from grade 4. (check the website)
the abrsm exam peices are quite nice to play, but it depends on your range. (if you can go up to high E then you can play the seashore, but the grade 2 stuff goes up to high A, in the 3rd octave)

<Added>


sorry, grade 5 stuff goes to 3rd octave a.

No!!! I'd recommend a really really nice music! Gaubert - Madrigal. It is really easy to play.

Oops. Sorry. I thought u're in Grade 8 in Music. I can write a lot of easy things, by syllabus for beginners!!!

Bach - Gavotte in G major
Beethoven - Sonata in Bb major for Piano and flute
Gluck - Minuet
Gossec - Tambourin
Mozart - Papageno's Aria
Vivaldi - Sicilienne )from 2nd mvt of Concerto Il Gardellino)
Gabriel Faure - Berceuse (REALLY BEAUTIFUL)
Erik Satie - Gymnopedie No.1,and/or 2,and/or 3.

I think that's it.

Oh you are grade 5 or below. Then, nothing easier than:

fast and impressive:
Harris - Rumba, Study no. 44 from 76 Graded Studies for Flute

slow and OK-impressive:
Haydn Flute Serenade

What do you play in your lessons?

In my class we mostly play out of a book and mostly play flat notes. We havn't even started playing sharps yet but I can teach myself.

Brainwave!!! 'I Will Follow Him' from Sister Act! It's simple, but effective, and it's known! It has three flats, and goes up to Eb, above the third C! Is that 3Eb, or Eb3? It's a third octave Eb! Could u play that?

<Added>

Ooooohhhhh! How about 'I Don't Know How to Love Him' from Jesus Christ Superstar?

I dont know... I would have to see the sheet music for both of them first.
