Dear flutists!

Support the unique and one-of-a-kind The Babel Flute magazine!

We aim to serve the global flute community by offering a FREE platform and magazine, publishing the latest and unique flute and music research, forum, job board, news, announcements, classifieds, and educational games.

So much new material has been written and so much valuable knowledge has been shared over these two years thanks to The Babel Flute and all 74 contributors from 27 countries!

We ask and encourage our generous contributors to write new articles specifically for The Babel Flute that would most likely never have been written were it not for our project or made available to the global flute community, and we provide this unique platform for all flute players in the world to exchange ideas and learn from each other!

This is a very expensive project to create and maintain. Sponsorships and donations help us pay the required annual expenses to keep the sophisticated platorm secure and running smoothly. We also invest in the development of this project to bring even more value to flutists by offering more digital services, organizing virtual and local events to promote the flute, supporting young promising flutists, and more.

By donating and supporting The Babel Flute you make a huge contribution towards a very high goal for the benefit of the world flute community.

Your donation will help the magazine to continue to stay free for all flutists!

THE NEED FOR SUCH PROJECT

Our authors are professional flute players who have shared their knowledge and unique research with the global flute community because they believe in this project and want to support it. Their articles have already helped and inspired many flutists and other musicians around the world!

• We’ve heard from flutists in the Middle East, Latin America, Eastern Europe and Asia how grateful they are for such a wonderful resource. Many of them mentioned the inability to pay high fees to existing flute associations and thanked us for keeping The Babel Flute open and free and for providing such valuable materials and services. This project is REALLY changing the lives of many musicians, flute teachers and students around the world!

• Many musicians from some parts of the globe do not have access to good teachers.To keep the platform free is crucial for them!

• The powerful translating feature of The Babel Flute makes our unique material easy to read and understand – in ANY language.

• Many people could not travel during the Covid era. Now some people cannot travel due to very high travel costs, wars, disabilities and other reasons, but they can learn from our authors at any time on a huge number of topics. Such unique materials cannot be found anywhere else, and being able to access them for free at any time can help many flute players achieve their professional goals and dreams, which means that together we can change the world to become a little better.

• In May 2022, we held our first FREE online event “The Babel Flute Days” with over 100 guests registered! In September 2023, we hosted the Global Flute Convention “The Babel Flute Days – 2023“, a FREE online event that required countless hours of preparation and significant funding. It has become the largest online flute event in history! We had 400 guests registered and hosted 110 online events in 6 days. We committed to making it free and inclusive for everyone, and we did it! The next Global Flute Conference will take place in September 2024!!

• At The Babel Flute, we are committed to making our magazine ACCESSIBLE and INCLUSIVE to everyone. We have already erased the language barriers and have now made it easier for people with low vision. If you need to adjust the screen, font size or contrast, click on the blue icon ♿️. To return to the original screen, click the refresh circle at the bottom of the accessibility menu. The option is included in both DESKTOP and MOBILE versions and works with the TRANSLATION feature. The Babel Flute is the ONLY platform among all flute associations, organizations, magazines and websites offering this feature.

• We organized a pedagogical initiative “CRESCENDO: GROWING TOGETHER” with a free access for everyone to benefit flute teachers and students. At the Crescendo Forum, a team of Crescendo Flute Pedagogy Specialists regularly highlights various issues, questions, ideas and challenges faced by flute teachers and students.

• We offer a free general FLUTE FORUM, where any flutist can promote their professional activities or ask a question.
