I hope this finds you well, happy and enjoying your flute playing during these strange times. I know everyone is finding life difficult in different ways, but we are lucky to have our flute playing to keep us engaged.
Some of our Flutewise members have signed up and are taking part in our Flutewise Challenges. Each week I set a new challenge and people can submit their videos. The results have been absolutely wonderful, our young flute players are very creative and talented. I can't share the videos with everyone as Flutewise as and organisation has extremely high safeguarding guidelines. However if you do get involved and submit a video you will get access to some of them. You can sign up here All ages and standards are welcome to take part and the prize is a place at our Flutewise Party sometime in the future (I hope it isn't too long in the future).
Sadly our residential course at Wycombe Abbey has been cancelled due to the Coronavirus.
I heard from my friends and colleagues in Croatia yesterday asking what my plans were for the summer school in August. I booked my flights way back in January and I would love to be able to travel and run this amazing course. I've been doing it for over 20 years and it really is the highlight of the year. I have no idea if anyone will be able to travel (or would want to) in August, but if I can, I will be there and the course is booked to go ahead. Fingers crossed. Please get in touch with me if you have booked to go or are thinking about it.
I received a lovely surprise in the post yesterday from my friend Erich Tucker in Dallas. He sent me 3 flute hats! See the photo below.
Enjoy the sunshine during June and keep safe.
Happy flute playing
