Exploration of the Flute
In its second year, the Flutastic Days of Summer consists of three exciting days of power-packed, memorable instruction and hands on practice in all aspects of flute playing. Ideal for students new to summer music programs, or who work or are otherwise engaged during the week, these all day weekend events can be attended separately or as a mini-course in flute performance, practice, and musicianship.
Each Flutastic Day will be different and includes several interactive lecture sessions on some of the topics above, a masterclass, and a concert at the end of the day featuring many of the new things the students have learned in that day, as well as some chamber music pieces. Snacks and a picnic lunch are included in the price.
The classes are led by two of the
area’s most innovative teachers:
