Be a Better Flute Player - Part 2

Phrasing

30th January, 10am to 10.45am. Join us online for a free workshop on phrasing, led by Lis Dooner. 
 
This session focuses on phrasing and some simple techniques you can learn to improve your skills. We use a demonstration lesson between pupil and teacher as our example and you are welcome to play along or to simply watch. There will be the opportunity to ask any questions as we go along.

This is recommended for players Grade 3 and under. Teachers are welcome to attend.  
 
Above Grade 3? The techniques covered in this session are applicable to all grades are are also taught at Conservatoire level. We have suggested a grade level due to the pieces being played and the age of the pupil involved. If your are above Grade 3 you are still welcome to attend.
 
Cost: Free
