In July 2024, we combined our existing blogs (The Committee Blog and the Community Blog) into one: The NFA Blog. This space will be a landing page for the flute community to share their insights. Check back each month for new posts!
The NFA invites all flutists to attend the events below, hosted by our Flute Club Affiliates. Flute Club Affiliates are independent, local flute clubs who work closely with the NFA to build closer connections with the flute club community. For more information on the events, visit the links below. This calendar will be updated throughout the year, but please check with the hosting flute club for the most up-to-date information.
