Dear Readers,
As we embark on our 5th year, we want to thank you for your support! Our newsletter is a labor of love, and it wouldn't be worth it unless for your continued subscription and feedback. This issue we have water, stone, and colour!
Our editor, Jessica Dunnavant writes about competition between high school students; Health and Wellness expert Kelly Wilson emphasizes the important of hydration in "Water Works." Finally, I interviewed Finnish flutist Jaana Laarsonen. We discuss her method book based on the Kodaly method, Colour Flute.
Every Friday we will be posting a new segment on social media, "Flute Examiner Friday Archives." Here, we will rotate through past articles! If you are wanting some extra reading materials now, please visit our newly created archive page: http://thefluteexaminer.com/archives/
Stay tuned for some exciting new coloumns this year. It will be a blast!
