Welcome to The Pedagogy Project

 

The Pedagogy Project is a dedicated, interactive consortium for flutists of all ages and levels.  It is a living, breathing, and ever-changing resource for teachers, performers, students, and flute lovers.

 

Using the unique format of the wiki, numerous acclaimed teachers and performers contribute to the content and editing of this website.  To participate, request access.  Materials found here can be used in other works; we just ask that you cite the original authors and, when possible, refer others to this space.
