CIM and most other top music schools are very competitive indeed for flute. It is one of the most competitive instruments out there, along with violin, piano and cello. Your daughter can contact Joshua Smith through his website at [Flutist Joshua Smith, principal flute Cleveland Orchestra, soloist, recitalist, chamber musician, teacher, and clinician](http://soloflute.com/contact.html). It is usually best to have the student initiate the contact rather than a parent.

The other teacher for flute majors at CIM is Mary Kay Fink. You could probably get her contact info by calling or emailing the admissions office.

I believe they take 2 or 3 new flute students in an average year. You would have to talk to them directly to find out how many spots they anticipate having next year.

Good luck to your daughter.
