If you’re craving fresh and innovative tools to build a strong and unshakeable foundation to your playing then this workshop is for you. Spend a day with innovative international flute player and teacher Jessica in a relaxed, friendly and supportive setting at the Sharrow Performing Arts Space. Explore and experiment with a variety of methods in which to master and (re)visit those key flute essentials such as breathing, finger technique, articulation, vibrato and posture. Whether you are an absolute beginner or a seasoned flute teacher in need of new inspiration, this workshop will provide a blueprint in which to build, remodel, and develop your own unique playing for years to come.
At the end of this one-day workshop you will be able to:
-- Use your body for optimal positioning to find better resonance in breathing and tone
-- Explore different methods through which your tone quality can be refined
-- Understand how to create different articulation styles for a variety of musical settings
-- Develop a varied approach to vibrato so it’s not ‘one size fits all’
-- Learn techniques to be at ease in your posture and fingerings to alleviate tension and stress when playing
