'ad agio' workshops for musicians - online
Saturdays 4th, 11th, 18th and 25th
ad agio ('at ease') is a workshop series aimed at musicians of all instruments, levels and genres (aged 18+) to help you play and perform in a more relaxed and comfortable way, both physically and mentally. Experts in musician wellbeing will lead workshops in topics such as performance anxiety, breathing anatomy and techniques, Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais, injury prevention and treatment, mindfulness and nutrition. The first events in the series were about to be announced when lockdown began in the UK. I hope to be able to run them in their original in-person form at some point but, for now, we're offering a series of sessions online via Zoom. Book for any one session or all four. More information and bookings here.
Low Flutes Sessions with Carla Rees - online
Sundays 15th and 22nd November
Join low flutes expert Carla Rees for our online workshops to enhance your skills and knowledge on the 'big flutes'. Following on from Carla's popular Low Flute Days in Sheffield, UK, and online sessions in July 2020 which were attended by players from around the world, these are aimed at players aged 16+ who already have some experience of playing alto, bass or contrabass. Both workshops will consist of a mixture of Q&As, Masterclass-type sessions, discussions and demonstrations of techniques which you can try out in your own home (with or without your microphone switched on!).
Book for one session or both. More information and bookings here.
