Our Mission

The NFA Pedagogy Committee seeks to assist teachers of the flute at all levels in their quest for pedagogical excellence

     


Activities

The NFA Pedagogy Committee was formed to assist teachers of the flute at all levels in their quest for pedagogical excellence. To that end, the Pedagogy Committee has sponsored the publication of scholarly documents, including The Flutist's Guide: A Pedagogy Anthology, Vol. 1, 1998 and Vol. 2, 2012, as well as a series of graded repertoire and studies guides (published 2001, 2005, 2009, and 2021). The committee also strives to present a variety of informative and inspirational sessions at the annual convention. In recent years, the committee has instituted a Teachers’ Breakfast and High School Masterclass; both have become flagship pedagogical sessions held each year.


Additions to the NFA's Selected Flute Repertoire and Studies Guide

The Pedagogy committee is collecting suggestions for the Selected Flute Repertoire and Studies Guide. Submissions are accepted on an ongoing basis. All submissions from Jan 1-Dec 31 will be considered for the next year's update. All changes to the guide will be uploaded to the NFA website prior to the annual NFA Convention.
