Flute Loops Roster
Tim Belliveau
North Windham, CT
I began playing the flute at age 10 in the Norwich Public School System. I played in Concert Band, Marching Band, Orchestra, and even as an occasional accompanist with the Chorus. Later I played in many groups, including Community Bands, Woodwind Quintets, Union Bands, Pit Orchestras, and for 20 years in the CT Army National Guard Band.
Currently I keep my flute skills active with Flute Loops and CMR woodwind quintets. Be-“leaf” it or not, I am in this picture… (hint: look behind the tree)
Dan Burns
Wallingford, CT
Unlike many others, I began playing the flute in my 30’s (30 years ago). Although I did play the accordion for three years when I was 8. Why the flute instead of another instrument? It is smaller than a tuba. I am a retired chemical engineer. My wife and I live in Wallingford. In addition to Flute Loops, I play with town bands in Branford and Wallingford. My favorite flute to play is my alto flute, which has a rich, lower sound than the regular flute.
Lu Finegan
Gales Ferry, CT
I live with my husband Steve (Flute Loops groupie). I’m a pharmacist by trade, and work in corporate pharmacy operations. My love for music started when I was a child - leading me to learn the piano. I’ve always loved the flute so finally started learning a few years ago. I’ve very excited to be a part of Flute Loops and to play music with such a great group of people!
Chuck Gendrich
Middletown, CT
I’ve played cello and bass for many years, so when my daughter handed me her new flute and said, “Play this, Dad!” I was skeptical. But once I heard the low C and felt how light the instrument is, I was sold! I’m so grateful for the opportunity to play with Flute Loops, where I am constantly inspired to play better, and where rehearsals are all about playing everything musically. And of course, thanks to Katie, for getting me hooked on flute!!
Lisa LaRochelle
Plainfield, CT
I live with a wonderful guy named Jeff and two dogs named Clyde and Harmony. I have two sons, Brayton and Brett, and a brand new daughter-in-law named Myca, who came here a few months ago from the Philippines. I’ve been blessed in this life with good health, good friends and the opportunity to share my gifts as a piano and yoga teacher. I started playing the flute in 2016 and am psyched to be part of this group.
Clare McIntyre
Colchester, CT
I have been playing flute for nine years in the Colchester Public Schools system, and I am currently in the Bacon Academy 6:45 Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band, and Jazz Band. I am also a flutist in the Greater Hartford Youth Wind Ensemble, and have performed in a few festival bands. I try to spend all of the time I can with my flute and piccolo, whose respective names are Brody and Borislav. Looking ahead, I plan to study Music Education in college. I love playing with the Flute Loops, and am super excited for our performances this year!
