HAROLD VAN WINKLE 35th Annual Convention of The National Flute Association August 9 - 12, 2007 Albuquerque, New Mexico August 2007 Dear NFA Convention Attendee: Welcome to the National Flute Association’s 35TH Annual Convention! n behalf of the officers and board of directors Oof the National Flute Association, it is a great pleasure to extend a welcome to everyone and especially to new attendees. Those of us who have Alexa Still attended NFA conventions in the past know that our conventions are always jam-packed with performances and presentations that simply astound us. This year is no exception; Program Chair Nancy Andrew’s vision is the result of a lifetime’s worth of thought and application, crammed into one intense year of preparation. Get ready to be amazed! This year we celebrate Peter Lloyd and John Wion with Lifetime Achievement Awards. Please consider joining us on Saturday for the Fundraising Gala Dinner, where we put the spotlight on these two outstanding individuals. This welcoming letter is normally full of richly deserved thank-you’s, but I’d like to take this space to ask you to thank these individuals personally (as I will), so that these people who have done and are doing so much can begin to appreciate the very broad impact of their contributions. Everyone you see performing on or presenting about the flute at this convention has donated their services. Please let them know how much you appreciate their efforts! The NFA operates with only a few paid staff. Please trust me when I say they work ridiculously long hours to get everything ready before the convention, and to keep things moving smoothly during the convention. Please take a moment or two to thank our wonderful staff and the many, many volunteers you’ll see, from the remarkable Nancy Andrew to the person you’ll meet watching the door as you wait to sneak into a concert. Maybe you’d like to volunteer too? This event is a labor of love from many, many people. We also rely on the contributions of our commercial members. Please thank them for making this trip with their wares, enjoy discovering for yourself what is available (you’ll note there is time set aside for this!), and take this opportunity to get to know the people normally on the end of a phone hundreds of miles away. You’ll be thanking them further with every purchase! Finally, I do want to thank you for joining us. Your registration fee is helping to pay for the non-flutist musicians you will see and hear including the orchestra, the facilities, the equipment, insurance, and support materials. We are thrilled that you are here…. we wouldn’t all be here to enjoy this event without your support! I wish for you a fabulous time spent amongst your friends in an inspirational, educational and wonderfully collegial whirlwind of flute!

  • Ear Clearing for Non-Divers
    Scuba School Ltd – Ear Clearing for non-divers Ear clearing or clearing the ears or equalization is any of various maneuvers to equalize the pressure in the middle ear with the outside pressure, by letting air enter along the Eustachian tubes, as this does not always happen automatically when the pressure in the middle ear is lower than the outside pressure. This need can arise in scuba diving, freediving/spearfishing, skydiving, fast descent in an aircraft, fast descent in a mine cage, and being put into pressure in a caisson or similar pressure-bearing structure, or sometimes even simply travelling at fast speeds in an automobile. People who do intense weight lifting, like squats, may experience sudden conductive hearing loss due to air pressure building up inside the ear. They are advised to engage in an ear clearing method to relieve pressure, or pain if any. Methods The ears can be cleared by various methods,[5] some of which pose a distinct risk of barotrauma including perforation of the eardrum: Yawning which helps to open the eustachian tubes; Swallowing which helps to open the eustachian tubes; The "Frenzel maneuver": Using the rear part of the tongue and throat muscles, close the nostrils, and close the back of the throat as if straining to lift a weight. Then make the sound of the letter "K." This pushes the back of the tongue upward, compressing air into the openings of the eustachian tubes. "Politzerization": a medical procedure that involves inflating the middle ear by blowing air up the nose during the act of swallowing; The "Toynbee maneuver": pinching the nose and swallowing.

  • The Commissioned Flute Choir Pieces Presented By
    THE COMMISSIONED FLUTE CHOIR PIECES PRESENTED BY UNIVERSITY/COLLEGE FLUTE CHOIRS AND NFA SPONSORED FLUTE CHOIRS AT NATIONAL FLUTE ASSOCIATION ANNUAL CONVENTIONS WITH A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE FLUTE CHOIR AND ITS REPERTOIRE DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Yoon Hee Kim Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2013 D.M.A. Document Committee: Katherine Borst Jones, Advisor Dr. Russel C. Mikkelson Dr. Charles M. Atkinson Karen Pierson Copyright by Yoon Hee Kim 2013 Abstract The National Flute Association (NFA) sponsors a range of non-performance and performance competitions for performers of all ages. Non-performance competitions are: a Flute Choir Composition Competition, Graduate Research, and Newly Published Music. Performance competitions are: Young Artist Competition, High School Soloist Competition, Convention Performers Competition, Flute Choirs Competitions, Professional, Collegiate, High School, and Jazz Flute Big Band, and a Masterclass Competition. These competitions provide opportunities for flutists ranging from amateurs to professionals. University/college flute choirs perform original manuscripts, arrangements and transcriptions, as well as the commissioned pieces, frequently at conventions, thus expanding substantially the repertoire for flute choir. The purpose of my work is to document commissioned repertoire for flute choir, music for five or more flutes, presented by university/college flute choirs and NFA sponsored flute choirs at NFA annual conventions. Composer, title, premiere and publication information, conductor, performer and instrumentation will be included in an annotated bibliography format. A brief history of the flute choir and its repertoire, as well as a history of NFA-sponsored flute choir (1973–2012) will be included in this document.

  • Dive Theory Guide
    DIVE THEORY STUDY GUIDE by Rod Abbotson CD69259 © 2010 Dive Aqaba Guidelines for studying: Study each area in order as the theory from one subject is used to build upon the theory in the next subject. When you have completed a subject, take tests and exams in that subject to make sure you understand everything before moving on. If you try to jump around or don’t completely understand something; this can lead to gaps in your knowledge. You need to apply the knowledge in earlier sections to understand the concepts in later sections... If you study this way you will retain all of the information and you will have no problems with any PADI dive theory exams you may take in the future. Before completing the section on decompression theory and the RDP make sure you are thoroughly familiar with the RDP, both Wheel and table versions. Use the appropriate instructions for use guides which come with the product. Contents Section One PHYSICS ………………………………………………page 2 Section Two PHYSIOLOGY………………………………………….page 11 Section Three DECOMPRESSION THEORY & THE RDP….……..page 21 Section Four EQUIPMENT……………………………………………page 27 Section Five SKILLS & ENVIRONMENT…………………………...page 36 PHYSICS SECTION ONE Light: The speed of light changes as it passes through different things such as air, glass and water. This affects the way we see things underwater with a diving mask. As the light passes through the glass of the mask and the air space, the difference in speed causes the light rays to bend; this is called refraction. To the diver wearing a normal diving mask objects appear to be larger and closer than they actually are.

  • Musical Origins and the Stone Age Evolution of Flutes
    Musical Origins and the Stone Age Evolution of Flutes When we, modern humans, emerged from Africa and colonized Europe Jelle Atema 45,000 years ago, did we have flutes in fist and melodies in mind? Email: [email protected] Introduction Music is an intensely emotional subject and the origins of music have fascinated Postal: people for millennia, going back to early historic records. An excellent review can Boston University be found in “Dolmetsch Online” (http://www.dolmetsch.com/musictheory35. Biology Department htm). Intense debates in the late 19th and early 20th century revolved around the 5 Cummington Street origins of speech and music and which came first. Biologist Charles Darwin, befit- Boston, MA 02215 ting his important recognition of evolution by sexual selection, considered that music evolved as a courtship display similar to bird song; he also felt that speech derived from music. Musicologist Spencer posited that music derived from the emotional content of human speech. The Darwin–Spencer debate (Kivy, 1959) continues unresolved. During the same period the eminent physicist Helmholtz- following Aristotle-studied harmonics of sound and felt that music distinguished itself from speech by its “fixed degree in the scale” (Scala = stairs, i.e. discrete steps) as opposed to the sliding pitches (“glissando”) typical of human speech. As we will see, this may not be such a good distinction when analyzing very early musi- cal instruments with our contemporary bias toward scales. More recent symposia include “The origins of music” (Wallin et al., 2000) and “The music of nature and the nature of music” (Gray et al., 2001).
