Indy Flute Shop – Looking Ahead

It’s that time of year! You’re most likely in band camp season, memorizing your music, learning your drill charts, and preparing for the school year to start. Since you are about to get into the busyness of the season, I want to put some things on your radar to start planning for. And don’t worry, I will post updates as I hear about more events! Attending flute events and even entering flute competitions can be EXTREMELY beneficial for your musical journey. It is literally an entire evening, day, or multiple days of all things flute related. You get to learn from experts, meet other flutists, and dive deep into the flute world. You don’t normally do this kind of thing in band class. If you’d like to elevate your playing and knowledge of the flute, I highly recommend you check these out!

Meet Katie McDonald – Our New Flute Specialist!

It only took a few months of being on the job, but I think it’s finally time for an introduction! My name is Katie McDonald, and I’m the new Flute Specialist here at Paige’s Music. I started here back in July 2023, and I am so excited to be here and to get to work with some incredible flutists in Indiana! In 2020, I graduated with my Master in Music Performance degree at the University of Louisville, where I studied with Kathy Karr. Since graduating, I’ve been building a flute studio in the Southern Indiana area where I still teach today, and I’ve been playing first flute with the Indiana University Southeast Concert Band. As a flute teacher myself, I think it is so fun to get to work with students and professionals and be a part of their musical journeys in helping them find their next flute! I am a dog mom to two giant Great Pyrenees named Polar and Bear (yes they really do look like polar bears!). Bear especially likes to lay at my feet while I play the flute. When I’m not working here or teaching, you can find me kayaking, hiking, knitting, or reading a
