Adult learner series
The Galway Flute Academy “Adult Learners” Sessions led by Lady Jeanne Galway, offer all Adults of all levels the chance to brush up on their flute playing in an intimate online class setting.
Our sessions begin with an introduction followed by the opportunity for those of you who wish, to join live on screen and be coached by Lady Galway on the topic of the day, or anything you wish to work on. We also designate a portion of each session for Questions & Answers.
All sessions are recorded for those who cannot join and a chance to review for up to one month after the class.
* Please note, we do try to give as many of you a chance to perform as possible - time dependent.
JULY Adult learner series
Join us for two online sessions, 16 and 23 July at 7pm (CET), as we learn with Lady Jeanne Galway.
Welcome to Learning new Repertoire - Finding a system that works for you
Learning, absorbing with control and Confidence.In our July Summer sessions we shall be working together on this famous question:
How do I learn and work on a new piece of repertoire with confidence and ease - where and how do we begin?
Whatever stage you are at in your playing, learning a new piece of music can be exciting and daunting, or shall we say overwhelming at the same time.
JUNE Adult learner series
Join us for two online sessions, 4 and 25 June at 7pm (CET), as we learn with Lady Jeanne Galway.
Welcome to our June Summer Sessions! As the days grow warmer and a lightness of spirit takes over our days, shall we bring this also into our flute playing?
This month's sessions are all about having fun, enjoying your progress, your practice and exploring new or old repertoire that brings some lightness to your musical spirit. Enjoyment is the key word here.
Whether we are playing our scales up and down the flute or tonguing away or just playing a few nice tone exercises the key is to Enjoy. As we always say here at the Galway Flute Academy “approach your playing with an air of exploration not frustration”
We are so fortunate to have a huge array of repertoire at our fingertips. A short tune, a lively waltz or dance, these short lively melodies always lift us and the listener. Sir James brought this forward at the start of his solo career and it was an instant success.
With this in mind I would like to encourage you to choose a new piece; or a familiar one that brings a lightness of spirit to your playing.

Session One - Exploring the 20th & 21st Century development of the Flute and its repertoire - PT1
14th May 7pm (CET).
Evolving from the impressionistic styles of the early 1900’s, shifting towards the varied works of the modern day; composers explored atonality (Messiaen, Boulez, Varèse), virtuosity (Liebermann, Rodrigo, Hindemith, Martinu), Jazz (Bolling), Avant- garde techniques (Ian Clarke) and of course the rise of the female composers coming into their own (Coleman, Hull, Hoover and more).
Please join Lady Jeanne and Sir James alongside our Guest Artist for the 21st May Session - Carol Lynn Ward Bamford (Curator of Musical Instruments Collection in the Music Division of the US Library of Congress), as we discuss flutes, 21st Century repertoire and the continued foundations of good solid playing to help you reach those high notes & the techniques you would like to incorporate into your playing.
