Hello everyone in Fluteland! I am Kaitlyn and I am new here. I am getting ready to head off to college to study flute performace. I want to get my flute teacher that I have studied with for 7-8 years a gift that shows all my appreication. Does anyone have any ideas for a good gift? I would like the gift to be flute related. Please let me know if you have a idea!

I would check out fluteworld.com. They have some gifts. A gift certificate from Fluteworld or another company that carries music is a nice gift idea. Maybe something a little more personal? Try to compose a short simple piece for her. One of my students did this for me. Even though it was quite simple, I will always cherish it and play with great memories of her. Codamusic.com has a trial version of the Finale software that would work fine for something like that. If you don't feel like you can compose, what about a picture of the two of you in a nice frame?
Welcome, and good luck in college!

I would make her something. That's what I did for my director. I bought some sheet-music material and made her an eighth note with her name on it. It looked pretty cool. You could also put together a CD of you playing a special piece(s) that you learned from him/her. I'm not sure how you could record yourself, but it'd be cool to do. Good luck in college!
