Jules Loveless grew up in a very musical family; her 10 older siblings and parents each played different instruments, and by the time it was her turn to learn to play, flute was one of a few instruments not already claimed.

Jules continued playing through high school and played in a flute choir in college. Now she is a stay-at-home, previously-homeschooling mother of five that enjoys off-roading and exploring life with the family.

Jules started the Utah County Flute Choir to maintain her own skills, provide an opportunity for other adults do the same, and to show her children by example that music is an important part of life.

Jenny Sittig knew in 5th grade when they demonstrated all of the band instruments that she wanted to learn to play the flute, and she has been playing in at least one musical group ever since. Some memorable band trips in middle school and high school include St. Louis, Washington DC, Disney World, Southern Utah, and throughout Europe.

While studying flute performance in college, she traveled with the orchestra to NYC, where she had the amazing experience of playing at Carnegie Hall. She was a guest piccolo performer with Utah's 23rd Army National Guard band for 5 years. While in that group, she was honored to play with the band for President George W. Bush, Latter-day Saint President Gordon B. Hinckley, and in Germany for the US troops returning home from the Middle East.

In addition to the flute choir, she plays with the Wasatch Winds in American Fork and has been a member of that band since 2010. She continues to pass on her love of music to her private flute students.

Maggie Marchant started playing the flute in fifth grade and fell in love with the instrument from the start. Throughout middle school, high school, and college she enjoyed developing her talent and performing in a variety of ensembles.

She moved back to Utah after completing a Masters of Information Sciences in Tennessee and now works at the BYU Library.

In her spare time, Maggie enjoys baking, reading, and being aunt to 27 nieces and nephews.

She is excited to continue to play and share her love of music as part of the Utah County Flute Choir.

Brooke Dodds started flute at ten years old and has found ways to play ever since. She enjoyed playing all throughout junior and high school including marching in the Inaugural Parade for George W. Bush and performing in a youth orchestra at Abravanel Hall.

Now the mom of five, she continues to find ways to improve and perform on the instrument that she loves.

Rachel Sittig's love for music began early. She started piano at 6 years old, and at 9 began playing the flute just like her older sister Jenny, who is also a member of the flute choir.

She played the xylophone for a year of her band experience. Rachel has played in the UVU band, West Valley Symphony, and was a guest flute performer with Utah 23rd Army National Guard band for three years. While in that group, she had the amazing opportunity to play for President George W. Bush during the 2002 Olympics.

Rachel has always been eager to try new instruments, even performing with the Utah Valley Handbells for several seasons.

There is always some sort of music blasting at her home; from 1940s jazz to 50s and 60s music, to classic rock, indie, classical, musicals, and opera. It's probably harder to find music she doesn't like than to list what she does.

In her spare time, she enjoys amigurumi, podcasting, watching true crime, D&D, collecting houseplants and frogs, and spending time with her family, cats, and dog.

Jennifer Neilson started playing the flute the summer before 8th grade. She knew immediately that she had found the perfect instrument for her. She played in various groups throughout middle and high school and competed in solo and ensemble festivals where she was often awarded superior ratings. She attended both Snow College and Utah State University, where she was again involved in many groups. After college she got married and her flute playing was put on the back burner as she worked and raised a family.

In 2013, a friend in the American Fork Symphony asked her to fill in as a substitute, which was just what she needed to rekindle her love of playing. Eventually she was asked to be a permanent member of the symphony. Playing in the orchestra has been a dream come true. In 2023 she joined the Utah County Flute Choir. She loves the many opportunities to perform with them and is currently playing the alto flute, which might be her favorite thing ever!!

Throughout the years she has had the opportunity to study with Elaine Jorgensen, Leslie Timmons, and currently studies with Beth Weissman. Jennifer is married to the most supportive husband. She has four children that are probably really tired of hearing her practice. When she is not mothering or fluting, she loves to travel, hike, bake, sew, work out, do puzzles, watch movies, read cookbooks and self improvement books, and hang out with her husband and kids.

Carrie Wilson’s father, a music professor, thought it was best that she learned piano and another instrument beginning in fourth grade. At the time, she thought it was taking too much of her “play time” but is now grateful to have developed an early love for music. The self-discipline that came from consistently practicing music helped her through all aspects of life and provided many enriching opportunities.

As a senior in high school, she performed with the Charleston Symphony Orchestra as third flute and piccolo player. Since then she has had the privilege of performing with many community orchestras and wind ensembles, including a time with the Northwest Symphony and Clark College Orchestras.

Education has also always been important to Carrie, as demonstrated by her BA, MA and Ed.S. degrees and many years serving as an educator to special needs populations. Presently, Carrie teaches for the Alpine School District.

Heidi Bingham began playing the flute as a young child, and developed a great love for music. She has a doctorate in music education from Boston University. She has taught private flute lessons for over 25 years and enjoys working with students of all ages and abilities. She is active in the community as a freelance musician, adjudicator, and a woodwind clinician and coach in the local schools. Most recently she has worked with students at Skyridge High School, Lehi Junior High School, and Willowcreek Middle School.

While still in high school, Heidi was a soloist with the Orchestra of Southern Utah. Since that point, Heidi has performed with a number of ensembles and chamber groups, including the University of Utah Wind Symphony, the University of Utah Philharmonia, the Salt Lake Opera Theatre, the University of Chicago Symphonic Band, the Oregon Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra, and the Oregon Symphonic Band.

Heidi also has a love of flute choirs, and has many years of experience performing with or directing both student and professional groups. Before moving to Utah, she soloed and performed with the Rose City Flute and the Pennsylvania flute choirs, eventually becoming director of the Pennsylvania Flute Choir.
