"My favourite weekend of the year ... lessons, sessions, a beautiful setting, catered meals, wine and above all ... flutes!"
-- John Skelton


At "Wind On The Bay" we try to provide an atmosphere where students of traditional music can get together to learn, share, and socialize in a relaxed and comfortable setting. This festival is designed for players at various skill levels and of diverse musical backgrounds. I set a limit of 30 attendees to ensure everyone gets to know one another and their instructors on a more personal level. Each year we have a nice mix of new and returning students so come make some new friends or see some old ones! I am proud to say the staff are all personal friends of mine whose talents and especially their personalities are the reason they are here.

I hope you'll take a few minutes to browse through our web site and see if you would like to join us at our 7th year of "Wind on the Bay"!!

All the best!
