High School Flute Camp - July 6 - 11, 2008
The UW-Whitewater Flute Camp provides flutists in grades 8–12 (fall of 2008) with an opportunity to grow musically and to hear and learn new repertoire. The daily schedule challenges the student at his or her own personal level. In addition to two daily lessons, flute quartet and tone and techniques class, campers may enroll in two or more of the class offerings. On the last two days of camp week, private flute lessons are joined by professional accompanists.
