Health and safety guidance for participants at FluteFling events

Last updated: 21 March 2025

We at FluteFling recognise that viral respiratory diseases are a concern for many people. There are particular issues surrounding wind instruments, including traditional flutes and whistles which feature in performances, 1-1 teaching, group teaching and sessions.

FluteFling organisers and volunteers take this seriously, so John Crawford has kindly drawn up some guidance for participants of in-person events that we hope will be both helpful and reassuring. You can view or download the PDF here:

Rev 01 FluteFling _ Safety from Viral Respiratory Diseases for Flute & Whistle Players

We welcome any feedback that can help to improve the guidance. As the situation changes, we expect to update this from time to time.
