FluteWild! Camp 2012 is now accepting applications. Come "travel” with us as we broaden our world knowledge of flutes and expand our playing horizons! Featured this year is a special hands-on, world flute presentation by local, Grammy nominee Peter Phippen. Students coming to camp will be introduced to Irish, Japanese, South American and Indian flutes and flute music. FluteWild! Camp is designed to strengthen your skills such as vibrato, articulation, range, tone, rhythm and music theory. Individual lessons from the camp instructors are included, as well as trying the bass flute, alto flute and piccolos. Daily small ensemble rehearsals featuring world music will result in a final recital given on the last day.

FluteWild! Camp 2011:Beatboxing, Movie Music & Bass Flutes!
These were a few fun elements of last year's FluteWild! Camp, and we had a blast. Our theme was Flute Stars: Music From the Stage and Screen. The students had a lot of fun playing flutes, piccolos, alto and bass flutes, working on tone and intonation, learning about the flute in popular culture, how to improvise, how to beatbox on the flute, and experiencing what it's like to play in a masterclass. They also prepared some really great music and performed it in the annual FluteWild! recital. We hope YOU will join us this summer to experience more flute fun as we explore flutes from around the world! Check out this video from the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, back in 1982. Jim Walker is the flutist, and this is his jazz band, Free Flight. Jim is a studio flutist and is the flute player you hear in hundreds of scores for movies you've probably seen. He is a classically trained flutist with wonderful virtuosity, and you gotta' love his 1980's attire!
