Summer Online Flute Festivals and Classes
by Barbara Siesel
Perhaps you are feeling sad that the flute festival or master class you had planned to attend this summer was canceled due to the Pandemic. It turns out that quite a few have moved to online, virtual festivals and classes! This is good news and also a good opportunity to meet and learn from multiple teachers. Please feel free to share other classes with TFV since I’m sure I’ve missed a few.
For Younger Students
Short 10-11:30 classes for younger students for one week, ending with a recital.
