Finger Lakes Flute Circle Meeting, Wednesday 14 January 2015

The Finger Lakes Flute Circle will meet Wednesday 14 January 2015, 6:30 pm, at the Brookside School (Brighton Parks & Recreation), 1680 S Winton Rd, Rochester, NY 14618. This entrance on Winton Rd is south of Westfall Rd. The official address, 220 Idlewood Rd, takes you through the neighborhood streets to the alternate entrance on the other side of the building.

We will be meeting in the Conference room (rather than the previous Arts & Crafts room) due to room rental rate increases.

Beginners are encouraged! Flutes will be available to try out. We will be playing Native American flute, drums, and hand percussion. The Native American flute is an easy to play instrument that allows people of all experience levels, even complete beginners, to play beautiful music in no time!

A $5 contribution is requested for room rental and Meetup fees.

We will have a lot of fun and make great music together. We look forward to seeing you!

Current meeting schedules are listed on the Blog and Meetup websites:

Finger Lakes Flute Circle

The Finger Lakes Flute Circle is a gathering of people interested in the Native American flute, to share talents and experiences through a supportive musical and educational exchange.

A flute circle can be helpful on many levels, enriching those who are exploring or growing an interest in the Native American flute, nourishing beginner Native flute players searching for support, and empowering experienced players to reach higher levels of skill and enjoyment.

The Native American flute is a wonderful instrument in its accessibility to beginners to quickly and readily make pleasant songs regardless of prior musical experience, and a powerful musical tool for musical and emotional expression and improvisation.

Directions

Brighton Parks & Recreation is located at the former Brookside School in the Town of Brighton. We usually meet in the Arts & Crafts Room.

A waypoint address placing you close to the Winton Road entrance to enter into Google Maps or Mapquest is 1680 S Winton Rd, Rochester, NY 14618. Alternatively, the official listed address, 220 Idlewood Road, will take you to the backside of the building.
