I am Angela Rhodes and I play the flute in Paris, a cozy town located in the northeastern area of Texas .. not too far from Dallas or Texarkana. 

I hold my BME from Southern Arkansas University where  I was principal flute of the SAU Wind Ensemble.  While I was at SAU I was also named runner-up for the Alpha Chi Nolle Award and I won the woodwind division of the Northeast Arkansas Arts Foundation Concerto Competition.  I have had the privilege of studying with Sheryl Goodnight from the central Texas area, Judy Hand from McNeese State University, Dr. John Goss from Southern Arkansas University, and I currently study with Jocelyn Goranson from Texas A&M-Commerce.  I taught instrumental music in the public school systems for five years and taught applied flute at Southern Arkansas University for four years. I have also  had the honor of teaching some very fine and talented private students from this area. I played piccolo with the Pine Bluff Symphony Orchestra for seven years and I currently play piccolo for the Texarkana Symphony Orchestra. 

 I was awarded a generous Graduate Assistantship from TAMU-C and am therefore studying (and madly practicing!) for my Master's Degree in Flute Performance.   I look forward to presenting this recital for you and I hope to see you there.                                                     Sincerely -      Angela Rhodes
