A well-maintained flute and piccolo
A flute and piccolo stand - Can be seperate or together - great of you play both at a concert!
Tuner -You have to see if you are in tune, after all!
Metronome - Helps you keep those beats!
Combination flute/piccolo case - So you don't have to carry 2 cases around, it's really your preference.
Mirror - You never know how you do when you practice until you see yourself
Cleaning rod/cleaning cloth - This is necessary to clean your flute and keep it playing its best
Cigarette Paper - Flute players use this to help sticky pads
Music stand - portable and one for home
File Cabinet - to organize your music
Flute Recordings - It helps to listen to flute players playing your music.
Pencil - Mark that music! I suggest copying it and marking the copy (try not to mark the original unless you know you'll forget it)
Tape Recorder - It helps to hear yourself...you may catch a mistake you didn't hear the first time!
Music Dictionary - If you ever wonder what something means, look it up in the dictionary.
Practice Journal - This helps you keep track of when you practice. You might find out you need to practice more, after all.
