April Clayton was Director of the European American Musical Alliance month-long Summer Chamber Music Program in Paris, held at the Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris and Schola Cantorum, for seven years. Since then, she has been Director of the Da Capo Paris Flute Class at the Ecole Normale and Paris Cité internationale des Arts.

As part of her fancy wardrobe for this video, she is wearing a pin given to her by the Schola Cantorum administration on her jacket :)

Dr. Clayton studied at Oberlin with Debost and Juilliard with Wincenc--both of whom completed some of their flute studies with Marcel Moyse.
