National Flute Conventions
As an active member of the National Flute Association
(www.nfaonline.org) I attend
their national conventions each August. This year I was in Albuquerque.
Here I am with Trevor Wye, author of several method
books for flute that I use and recommend.
Last year I attended
the national 2006 convention in Pittsburgh and performed in the
NFA flute choir. While there I heard wonderful flute ensembles and tried out some
big flutes like the huge contrabass flute in the picture at right.
As you can see, it is way taller than I am!
