Investing in Local Talent 

At Flute-a-rama, we believe musical excellence should be accessible to everyone. Our scholarship fund supports dedicated students in grades 6 through 12 who are ready to take the next step in their musical journey.

Whether it’s a rising 6th grader joining their first ensemble or an advanced high schooler preparing for college auditions, your contribution helps local flutists thrive. Join our community of supporters and help us keep the music playing for everyone.

2026 Auditions

  • After you register for Flute-a-rama, please send a video-recorded audition.  
  • At Flute-a-rama Summer Camp students break out into ensemble groups and play with others at their level.  We want you to thrive with your peers, so this audition helps us determine which group will be happiest for you and allows us to give you music that will help you play well and improve. 
  • If you study with Carrie or Melissa you do not have to submit an audition video.
