Instrumental Groups:

FLUTE:  

Students are enrolled from 4-8^th grade and meet from 3-4 on Thursday. The teacher this year is Emily Elmore, an established teacher who graduated last year in flute performance from University of Central Florida,  Orlando. Students are required to pay a weekly fee of $10 and purchase a book. Cost is minimal and the education is phenomenal.
