Margaret Hornett (Flute) Registration Request

Margaret started studying flute at the age of ten, and has worked with many flute teachers in Calgary throughout the years. As Margaret is a very goal-oriented individual, she enjoys working towards various RCM achievements; most notably Flute Practical exams, as well as theory co-requisites. Upon the completion of her Grades 3 and 5 RCM exams, she was awarded with the Alberta Gold Award for the highest mark in Alberta. She has had the opportunity to be principal flute/piccolo in various high school ensembles, as well as in her current university ensemble. She was also a member of the Alberta Honour Band in grade 12. In 2017, she performed the Chaminade Concertino for Flute and Orchestra in the Jubilee Auditorium, as a soloist with her high school wind ensemble. She is currently studying flute with Gwen Klassen at the University of Calgary, and is excited to continue her musical career in the future years. Margaret has been offering flute lessons in Calgary at L&M since 2020. Her rate is $29 per half hour.
Long & McQuade
Performance Assurance
Buying a new instrument is an exciting event and we want to ensure that every instrument we sell comes exactly how the manufacturer intended it to be. That is why Long & McQuade performs a quality control check for every stringed, brass, and woodwind instrument over $99 ordered online at Long-McQuade.com.
Our team of experienced staff will unbox your instrument and perform a detailed inspection to ensure it leaves our warehouse looking and playing great with our QC card signed and dated for your peace of mind.
We work hard to source the best instruments from around the world from the finest brands. It is important to us that you are completely satisfied with your new instrument purchase from day one onwards.
Stringed Instrument Performance Assurance Checklist
Unlike our free set-up, which is included within the first year of purchase, this process is done to have the instrument set to the factory specs rather than to each player's feel or preferences.
We look after the following:
- Inspect finish and hardware.
- Check electronics to make sure everything is in working order. Check batteries on active pickups.
- Inspect strings.
- Inspect frets and fretboard.
- Check truss rod. Adjust for bow and relief.
- Tune instrument to manufacturer’s specified tuning.
- Check/set action height.
- Stretch strings and re-tune instrument and ensure machine heads are working well.
- Check for fret buzz by playing every note.
- Check/set intonation.
- Check/set pickup height.
- Cleaning and professional repacking.
Band and Orchestral Performance Assurance Checklist
We look after the following:
- Proper lubrication of valves and keys.
- Inspect pads.
- Proper fit of tuning slides.
- Proper fit of tenon joints.
- Lubricating corks for ease of set up.
