Flute and Clarinet Day
Join us next Saturday, April 1 from 12-6 pm for our first-ever Flute & Clarinet Day! This FREE event is open to 9-12th grade flutists and clarinetists and community members. Music educators are welcome, too!
Workshops
The day includes workshops and performances where we will explore the art of warming up and extended techniques like pitch bends and beatboxing. You'll leave with creative new ways to make your practice fun and strategies to continue improving your tone quality, air support/intonation, and double tonguing on the flute. We're so excited to help you level up your skills and musicianship!
Performances
The day will close with a Community Recital at 5 pm, which will include the Flute & Clarinet Day flute/clarinet choirs, plus performances by A-State students, Dr. Cameron, and Dr. Hoeckley. It's an event you won't want to miss!
Sign up soon - the registration deadline is March 27!

How to Help
Flutists at A-State often find it difficult to afford music opportunities farther from home. Your support is always appreciated because it helps students participate in events like the National Flute Convention, regional competitions, and summer music festivals!
