Second Winds
An opportunity for adult amateur flutists
Are you an adult amateur flutist? Then join the fun at the next meeting of RAFA's Second Winds at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, January 24th. We meet every other month at St. Philip Lutheran Church at 7304 Falls of the Neuse Road in north Raleigh, where a small group of us have fun warming up together before playing individually for each other.
Performing is not a requirement. This group is informal and forgiving, though - a perfect venue for getting used to playing for a small audience!
Questions? Call Mary Croghan 919-835-4378 or e-mail croghanm@gmail.com.

Win A Flute!
Ready to upgrade to a better flute? Here's your chance!
RAFA is offering a high quality solid silver Gemeinhardt flute to a worthy student. Any RAFA student member (college age and below) is invited and encouraged to submit an application.
The criteria for determining the winner will be the content of the student's essay about why he/she deserves to win the flute plus the teacher's recommendation.
Complete applications are due February 1, 2010, and the student will be expected to perform on the new flute at our Members' Recital on May 16th.

Solo & Ensemble Fest
Open to all ages and levels! This year's event has been expanded to include the performance of small ensembles (duet, trio or quartet) for written review and awards based on performance. Participants can also still choose to enter the traditional solo category.
The music list is divided into six levels: Grades A through F. The solo category requires flutists to play scales, etudes, and solos from the music list, while the ensemble category requires only the performance of the duet, trio or quartet selected from the music list. Grade levels should be assigned according to performer's ability and determined by the teacher.
Questions can be directed to coordinator Anne Dyke
