Can someone recommend a good book of etudes for an early intermediate flute player? My sister's flute teacher doesn't seem very dedicated or focused and my sister doesn't own a single flute book. Unfortunately, there aren't any other teachers in the area.
Are there popular flute equivalents to books like Melodious & Progressive Studies Bk.1/2 (for clarinet) that flute players work though before working on more "serious" (e.g. Rose for clar.) etudes?

I just started giving my post doc some lessons on flute. He had played sax years ago and had some piano so knew some about music but not so much about the flute. I was trained by the Rubank series but they are a little dull although they do teach the fundamentals well. Eventually we settled on one of Trevor Wye's instructional books and "Tune a Day" for flute. He found them more exciting than the Rubank, although he did do the exercises in it as well. He has progressed very well and was playing the most difficult exercises in a year.
Flute is a cool instrument. It is nice to just assemble the instrument AND PLAY. No damn reeds! It is harder to get a pretty sound and to play the high notes softly but it all comes, like everything, with practice.

With my flute students who are just past the beginner stages I usually use a combination of (or all):
60 Rambles for Flute - Leon Lester (Carl Fischer)
Supplementary Studies for Flute - Endresen (Rubank)
Flute Student (Bk 2 and Bk 3) - Steensland and Weber/ Ployhar (Belwin)
After the student has good proficiency and has completed most of the above, I introduce their first "real" flute etude book:
Gariboldi - 20 Studies (International)
