Give your flute practice a kickstart with this unique approach to learning!


Kickstart Flute is a unique flute method by Clare Southworth, based around 24 duets in a wide range of musical styles, with custom, play-along backing tracks so you can play with Clare and rhythm section.

There are 24 lessons, one for each duet, that take you through all the keys and are spread over two books - Kickstart Flute Book 1 & Book 2. Each lesson will introduce you to all the basics of learning the flute, with special emphasis on the material required to play the duets: notes, rhythms, articulations, dynamics & more... 


Explore a wide range of genres from ambient & chilled, folk rock, samba to swing (and that's just in Book 1!), all written by versatile composer Andy Scott. Simply scan your QR codes throughout the book to access your custom, play-along tracks for each duet.

Kickstart Flute is ideal for the beginner flute player, or those wishing to kickstart their practice, with a fun way to learn & develop their playing, immersing themselves in an exciting range of genres and styles.

"I hope you enjoy these wonderful duets as much as I do. Learning should be fun as well as educational.
​Let me Kickstart your love for all things flute!" - Clare Southworth
