Cornwall Flute Workshop: Explore Techniques to Make Your Tone Sparkle

Join us in Cornwall this Guy Fawkes Day for a half-day flute workshop.

Explore tips and techniques to make your tone sparkle (just in time for the fireworks later on!)

A half-day flute workshop with Dr. Jessica Quiñones (www.JQflute.com)

Description: If you’ve always wanted to tap into a beautifully resonant flute tone but are not sure how, then this flute workshop is for you! Spend a morning with American flautist and teacher Jessica to learn techniques to simplify the mystery of a stunning tone no matter which genre you play. Replace tone development dread with confidence and delight. Learn contemporary flute techniques that will help you refine, strengthen and deepen your understanding of the tools needed to create resonance in your playing. We’ll go beyond ‘just playing long notes’ and delve into topics such as extended techniques, vibrato, dynamic control and breathwork.

At the end of this one-day workshop you will be able to

• Explore how your flute headjoint, body posture, mouth and throat positioning can be tweaked for your best sound
• Learn a variety of exercises that you can put into your daily practice routine to deepen into refining dynamics, articulation, lip flexibility and vibrato control

Cost: £35 Early bird (til midnight on Sunday, 1 October 2017), £40 thereafter.
