Endorsements

"A new flute magazine is always interesting to flute lovers. This one is no exception. It is informative, creative, supportive, pensive and objective. Here is hoping it is not tentative. May Flute Focus live long!" - Michel Debost

Flute Focus Magazine is a great resource for the vocational flutist as well the professional. It's one of the few publications that recognizes ALL styles of flute playing...Brava! - Holly Hofmann

Flute Focus is a very welcome addition to the international flute magazine scene. Not just content to focus purely on classical playing, it includes jazz and, very importantly, health issues with a particular relevance to flute players. It is also great to have a magazine that is not US or Europe based thus presenting a different world. I wish Flute Focus a long and healthy run! - William Dowdall
