The purpose of this dissertation was to construct a database of flute studies for use by teachers and students. There are difficulties for teachers in the choice of suitable studies caused by geographic isolation or lack of familiarity with, or access to, the available study repertoire. There is also a need to identify currently available technical and study repertoire for the flute, according to criteria of suitability for particular needs of students. In order to address these problems a survey of teachers was undertaken to establish a comprehensive list of criteria relating to the perceived technical needs of students at various levels. Once this was done, approximately three thousand studies from the currently available technical study repertoire were analysed, using the developed criteria. Some collections of studies were also analysed and compared with the general repertoire, and catalogues examined to see if these could be a viable solution to teachers' difficulties. This was found not to be the case, and a database was presented as the most practical solution for teachers searching for studies which address specific technical problems.
