The UNCSA Flute Studio is composed of high school, undergraduate and graduate students from across the country who study with renowned flutist and pedagogue, Dr. Tadeu Coelho. We pride ourselves in the diverse, yet tight-knit community that has been formed and continues to endure year after year. 

For prospective students who are interested in joining our flute family, you can schedule a visit to UNCSA and sit in on a flute masterclass, lesson or Flute Ensemble rehearsal. Please email Dr. Tadeu Coelho at coelhot@uncsa.edu to coordinate.

Students will be asked to attend a live virtual audition to review these recordings with the faculty, and should expect additional playing requests at that time.

Those that audition by recording or live will be considered equally for admission.
