NEW! — We've launched an elegant, user-friendly reading experience: a dedicated Flutist Quarterly website. On the website, which replaces the flip book and comes at no additional cost to NFA members, you can focus on one article at a time, yet easily navigate at any time to related articles or other sections of the magazine. And while the format will look a little different, it's still the content you've come to know and love over the years: a curated variety of well researched scholarly articles by trusted comrades in the flute community.

The Summer 2022 Issue
In this issue:
Forging a life in the arts isn’t the easiest choice to make—especially these days—so Jacqueline Cordova-Arrington talks to three other flutists about one way to make things a little better: finding "the joy in waiting." And in anticipation of next month's 50th anniversary convention, we look at the many exciting events it will include, celebrate the Golden Anniversary Award recipients, share a few NFA member memories, and highlight more NFA commissions.
Katherine Saenger and Robert Dick look into the science behind the Pitch of the Plonk, debunking myths about tongue-ram acoustics. Erik Nugent and Robert Bigio give us a closer look at the instrument that inspired Verne Q. Powell’s famous Spoon Flute. Two members of the Performance Health Care Committee share their experience experimenting with flute weights to lessen performance-related pain. The Diversity and Inclusion Committee shares some of the work it’s been doing to manifest positive change. And as always, we have reviews, news, remembrances of those we’ve lost, and more.
