When we woke up this morning and went downstairs for breakfast, a few F-jes were already waiting for us. They immediately joined  us with our warming-up exercises. It was so great to play with them the funniest game of the whole week, Anna Maria Koekoek, they were also taught the song Hoofd, Schouders, Knie en Teen in the special Neflac way. After this we followed theme lessons with Jeroen and Wieke about posture and articulation. In the lesson about articulation was also some improvisation involved, which we all enjoyed very much. The F-jes did surprisingly well and we were astounded  by their confidence.

The rest of the morning consisted of private lessons by Emily, Jeroen, Wieke and Andrew and after that it was time to go outside for the lunch. The teachers who came to visite the Open Day with their students also joined us and they agreed on the food being amazingly good at Rhederoord.

After lunch time, the flute exposition from Adams was ready for us to try different flutes. It felt like being a child in a sweetshop. So much, that a couple of NTK'ers decided to make a cake, a special cake, a NEFLAC-5-years-cake! Douwe and Rosanne made a beautiful cake to celebrate this special moment. Of course, it was organic and tasted delicious.

For the first time in the 5 years of Neflac summer academy, we had a FREE evening! A barbecue had been arranged to enjoy the beautiful summer evening. After this we had a long walk in the beautiful woods which surrounds Rhederoord. a perfect way to close a special day like this.
