Flautissimo is a full flute orchestra and welcomes all ages of players who are grade 5+; our membership currently consists of school age through to those in their 70’s. It is an ideal environment to gain ensemble experience and explore the larger flutes - Alto, Bass and Contrabass flutes, which we loan to members. We are a very friendly and welcoming group. Cost £45 per term.

Piccolissimo is our training group. It is ideal for players of all ages who are learning the flute for the first time (you do need to be able to read music and play some notes) and for those whose flute playing is a little rusty. Cost £30 per term.

Piccolissimo performing in Zoom concert

Piccolissimo play simple pieces and provide an opportunity for less experienced players to practice ensemble playing which helps develop skills such as sight reading, playing in tune, and playing in time. When we are meeting for rehearsals, parents/carers of younger players are welcome to wait and listen to the group play, seating is available.

Here is what some current members find special about Flautissimo and Piccolissimo:

Piccolissimo Zoom rehearsal

"It's like getting a mini flute lesson in each rehearsal, the warm-ups and explanations of technique are specifically for the flute which make them relevant and improve my flute playing."
"I like the mixture of people that come to Flautissimo, they are all really friendly and love the flute!"
"It's a nice way to unwind at the end of the week without taking up time from the weekend."
"I come to Flautissimo because I love the music we play, and it's a chance to see my friends."
