September 2011 Finger Lakes Flute Circle Meeting

The next Finger Lakes Flute Circle meeting is this Thursday, September 22, 2011, 6:30 p.m., back at the Brookside School. For directions, see the side bar on the right, at the bottom.

Native flute players of any level of experience are welcome, as well as those who wish to listen and enjoy, or join in with percussion. Bring your flutes, hand percussion, and drums!

A $5 contribution toward room rental costs is requested. Beginner flutes and instruction books will be available for purchase.

We will have a great time!

We just had the most amazing experience at the Flute Haven Native Flute School last week, with an eight-day workshop in native flute facilitation and musicianship, and we highly recommend going to next year's school! We'll be using many of the same games to make great music together at the Finger Lakes Flute Circle!

Flute Haven Flute School Mini Update

Just finished the facilitator track of the Flute Haven Native Flute School led by Clint Goss, and the first full day of the regular Flute School, and it is absolutely awesome! Multiple attendees are participating in the school for the second time, because it is such an incredible experience with flute playing and musicianship in general. There is still the weekend mini school open, for which you can just show up and register. I highly recommend the Flute Haven experience. There will be a lot of great new ideas to incorporate into our Finger Lakes Flute Circle meetings! The Flute Haven weekend mini session is in Phoenixville, PA, just outside of Philadelphia and Valley Forge National Historic Park, Friday evening, September 16, through Sunday morning, September 18. http://flutehaven.com
