La Traversière
A non profit organisation created for you !
The French Flute Association "La Traversière" was founded in 1983 by a team of enthusiastic flutists and it is thanks to the will of a small group of volunteers that it has been able to develop and constitute today the means of expression and privileged communication of flutists.
La Traversière aims to develop missions of innovation, information, and creation by:
- the official publication of the Association: the magazines "Traversières Magazine" and "Piccolo Mag"
- the organization of events or partnerships every year to highlight musicians and pedagogues, educational innovations, changes in the profession of musician for future generations, trades related to the flute etc...
- the multiplication of contacts in the world, especially with all flutist associations in order to develop fruitful exchanges of ideas and actions, mainly in the context of the organization of European events.
- the development of its networks on the Web, by the regular update of our websites but also by a very strong activity around the flute by Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Flickr
- the production of CDs, DVDs, sheet music and books related to the flute...
We rely on the dynamism of all our members: this Association is yours...

Publication of magazines
La Traversière regularly publishes Traversières Magazine. Written by professionals of the flute or the music, this periodical deals with substantive topics on the flute. It is a way of capitalizing knowledge around this instrument, and to inform around new instrumental and pedagogical practices.
This magazine, a true pillar of the association, aims to bring together all flute professionals around a common project. Thus, we count on all the flutists and members of the association to participate in the success of this magazine, in particular by proposing ideas of articles.
Thus, if a subject is important to you, and would like it to be covered in the magazine (or webzine), contact us and submit your article or article idea. We will respond as soon as possible.

Edit CDs, DVDs and music sheets
La Traversière aims to promote and develop the repertoire of the flute. We strive to discover or rediscover forgotten works, and promote the creation of new works.
