Flute Notebook

The purpose of the notebook is for you to have at your disposal a teaching resource that you can use after you have graduated from Buena Vista University. This notebook should be a compilation of four years of study. You will need to purchase a three ring notebook that can be expanded over the four years. Everything put in the notebook should be typed (nothing hand written will be accepted). You will also need section dividers. Feel free to "personalize" the way you organize your notebook!
