National Flute Conventions

As an active member of the National Flute Association (www.nfaonline.org) I attend their national conventions each August. Over the years I have met and heard several great flute musicians that I have mentioned during private and group sessions.



James Galway
 In New York (2009) I got to meet James Galway. He is as charming in person as he is on stage. I also played in a flute orchestra of officially) 1,989 flute players (there were actually over 2,000, below) that now has a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest flute ensemble ever. A video excerpt / full video is available on YouTube.



Trevor Wye
 In 2007 I was in Albuquerque. Here I am with Trevor Wye, author of several method books for flute that I use and recommend.



Chrisopher Caliendo
 Here I am in Anaheim (2010) with composer/arranger Chrisopher Caliendo (center) and reknowned flutist Jim Walker (right). FluteKeys Allegro Choir is working on Mr. Caliendo’s arrangement of La Milonga.
