| What
is Flutewise? |
Flutewise is a flute organization based in the UK, with an excellent magazine now available to flutists in the United States. Flutewise magazine is written particularly for student flutists and is contains many interesting articles. Each issue includes CD reviews, new music reviews, articles about composers, flute history, and music history (which is actually fun to read!), tips on playing the piccolo, songs or exercises to try, and letters from other flute players. Flutewise is a registered charity in the UK, hosts many Flutewise Events there and elsewhere, and works with students worldwide to make learning flute and music available.
