ABOUT THE CREATOR
The original #littleflutecreator
If you don’t know me, I’m Stéphanie, #littlefluteexpert and the founder of FlutePlay. I started this #littleflutescommunity because I was a lot like you: Passionate about music and education, but lacking the network and support of like-minded teachers. I believe in community over competition, and I can’t wait to make music with you.
