FluteWild! Camp Archives
Every summer at FluteWild! Camp we organize different activities and discuss musical topics related to the flute. We want students to refer to these topics for future use, so we have uploaded copies of our handouts. The handouts are listed by year. These links are all .pdf files, so if you don't have Adobe Acrobat Reader on your computer, click here to download it for free.
