Maria Fernanda Guglielmina

I attended my very first NFA convention in 2013 in New Orleans right before I started college. One of the main takeaways from my time there was the inspiring experience of meeting so many people that loved the flute just like I did! Throughout my years as a member, I have made life-long friendships and have learned so much not just about the flute, but people’s life journeys within music. It has been through the NFA that I connected with college professors, old and new flute friends, and world-renowned performers.”
