Adi was born and raised in Israel, and began studying the piano with her mother at the age of seven. At the encouragement of her mother, who had always wanted to play the flute, Adi switched from the piano to the flute when she was 10. It was love at first sound! Adi realized that she had a lot of fun playing the flute and that it came very naturally to her. A few months later, she broke her arm in summer camp and couldn't play the flute
for a whole month! It was then that she realized how much she missed playing and decided she wanted to become a professional flutist. Adi moved to the United States while in the seventh grade, and continued to play her flute in several youth orchestras and bands in the New York area. Playing music really helped her while she was learning to speak English because music is a universal language. She played as a soloist with several different orchestras in some beautiful concert halls while she was still a teenager and entered The Juilliard School at age 16. The thing that Adi loves the most about being a musician is traveling around the world performing concerts and getting to meet lots of interesting people along the way! In her spare time, Adi really enjoys watching figure skating on TV and hopes to play with a skater one day!


The flute is one of the oldest instruments and it has been found in almost every culture. It is the only woodwind instrument that does not use a reed to make a sound. Instead, sound is produced on the flute by blowing across the mouthpiece, just as you might blow across the top of a bottle. Early flutes were made of wood and played vertically, like a recorder, but modern day flutes are known as transverse flutes and are played horizontally. The flute used to be made out of wood, but today most flutes are made of silver, gold, or even platinum. The flute is still a part of the woodwind family because of its wooden history, but the metal flute is able to play louder notes that can be heard at the back of any concert hall. The flute can also play some of the highest and fastest notes you will ever hear!!
