Session One - Putting it all together & our high notes
12th December 7pm (CET)
How do we get a beautiful open, easy sound in our upper register? The flute can soar so beautifully above all other instruments with the purest of sounds.
Ah…. but for us, being in control, playing with ease without closing our throats or squeezing can sometimes be an issue. In this session we shall review what we have learned these past few months and also work on our high register.
Session Two - Let’s play together!!!!!
19th December 7pm (CET)
Your goals for the New Year…Playing music with others?? Joining a flute band, finding a duo partner? Taking your flute playing to the next level. I would like to explore with you how we work on sight-reading and finding beautiful duets to learn and play with a partner. The composers understand the harmony and harmonic structure of two simple lines.

Movement of embouchure…. Sonoritè. Creating that very special magic when playing form note to note. Keeping our beautiful tone through leaps and jumps and what about when we add our tongue?
