Flute players of the 24th Flutes at the Barns course, July 2011

Welcome to Flutes at the Barns with Zoë Booth

Dear Flute Player,

I am delighted to invite you to take part in a very special flute course - Flutes at the Barns! Each course provides the opportunity for participants to take part in three days of flute playing activities in idyllic English countryside settings; comfortable, countryside venues combine individual and luxury accommodation on the same site as all the musical activities. Every course is open to flute players of all standards and abilities, aged eighteen and over.

News for Returning Players

If you have taken part in a Flutes at the Barns course before (you may even have been several times!) you can now benefit from greater choice of musical sessions during the course! If you want to take part in all the classes - including the ever-changing hints, tips and warm-up classes - you still may. However there will now be alternate sessions - including more chamber music - on offer for you to enjoy!

FATB Summer 2011

The July 2011 course has just returned from a great deal of musical fun and frolics; the course took place in a beautiful grand manor, remotely positioned below the Roaches rocks in the Peak District. Thanks to all who took part, especially Jacci - for her marvellous cooking - and to Maria - our wonderful accompanist! (See photo, above.)

... and much, much more!
