“I always improve on how I play during Flute-a-rama. Doing the duets is so fun. You get to play with people and that really helps me improve. You get feedback from them and tips and tricks.”

"Flute-a-rama is one of the best music summer camps in the state. I have had many students participate in Flute-a-rama in past years and they have said it's their favorite part of the summer. Some students return to the camp year after year!”
