hi this is my first post on this forum. i hope this forum can help me fulfill my desire of playing the flute.
i've been playing for about 2 weeks just by teaching my self some notes of the internet. i like scottish music like the music for the movie "braveheart". i've already figured out a tune on the flute from that movie. i'm looking for some more easy pieces to get me started.
your help is greatly appreciated

Many places offer previews to the music you are buying (I think sheetmusicplus.com does this), and you can copy and paste the music into a word document and print it off. It is very seldom an entire piece, but if you arent willing to pay, you cant expect a whole lot.
Also, there are webpages that offer church hymns arranged for different instruments for free. So, I would suggest doing a brief websearch, and finding some of those. Also, keep in mind that any instrument tuned in the key of C (like piano and oboe) also have music, and music for those instruments are fair game to play (although you might have to transpose the music up an octave or two every now and then).
Sorry I didnt have any links for you, but I havent really done a lot of research when it comes to free sheet music. I typically just buy mine (and because I am a flute major in college, it just doesnt seem appropriate to download a free copy of a vivaldi concerto....).
You could also look into purchasing some beginner books online. I know the company Mel-Bay sells beginner solo books (like scottish tunes and such) for a pretty low price. To be honest, I have a few myself, and when I just want to relax (and get out of the world of almost impossible music), they fit the bill nicely. So I would look around for some books like that too.

check out 8notes.com
I'm a music teacher in the Nashville TN area - [noh] - anyway I try to keep an eye out for free easy popular (common classical) pieces on the internet. Try 8notes.com - they have lots of free music for flute - some easy - some med easy - just have to check out the range & key sig. Good luck & be consistent with your practice - you'll get better!
