Robert Dick (born January 4, 1950) is a flutist, composer, teacher and author.
His musical style is a mix of classical, world music, electronic and jazz. 2014, the National Flute Association awarded Dick its Lifetime Achievement Award.[1] The New York Times said his “technical resources and imagination seem limitless"[2] while JazzTimes called him “revolutionary.”[3]
Dick invented the "glissando headjoint" a custom flute modification allowing the player to achieve effects similar to the whammy bar of an electric guitar.[4]
