The Queensland Flute Guild offer two Sankyo flutes for use by two talented individuals for 12 months. These flutes are offered by the family of James Carson, and the family of Larissa Dial.  Larissa Dial began flute tuition with a Yamaha Flute in Grade 4 of primary school. She progressed and became a member of the Queensland Youth Orchestra. It was at the end of high school that she purchased a French Silver Sankyo flute which she used for her flute study at the Queensland Conservatorium of Music. Larissa was both a performer and a flute teacher. She especially loved Mozart’s music. Larissa passed away aged 40 years in 2015 after battling cancer and her family have kindly offered Larissa's flute to this scholarship.
