Two low flutes specialists will combine their expertise for this fun-filled session! They will share tips on selecting low flutes, equipment and learning materials, as well as challenges one can expect when beginning on these instruments and how to overcome them. The reading session consists of works for low flute ensembles, including alto, bass, and contrabass flutes. From Bach to "Wicked", from flutist-favorite composers to new arrangements, there's a piece for everyone to enjoy! Explore the deep (and sometimes bright) world of low flutes!
