Letting go – transform your flute playing

Description

COURSE – NOVICE-ADVANCED

Learning the flute should bring you joy and yet you feel discouraged…

After all, you likely restarted because you remember how much fun you had with it, and how wonderful it made you feel. Now…you may even be wondering if you should just give up. Take a deep breath. The good news is, that you are not alone! I have seen so many students struggle with this

And through my work with them, I have discovered a concept and approach to playing that has helped them transform their practice and playing.

You need to learn to LET GO!

Here is a simple truth that can transform your playing. To play the flute well, you need to learn to stop trying so hard to “get it right”, and rather allow yourself to explore and play with the possibilities. The attitude of trying hard usually only produces more tension and reinforces old bad habits.

‘Letting Go’ is a 6-week online video course designed to help you transform your playing and practice.

Each week we tackle an aspect of playing the flute.

Week 1: Letting go of your attitude.

Week 2: Letting go of tension

Week 3: Letting go of your fingers

Week4: Letting go in breathing and support

Week 5 & 6: Letting go of your tone

We approach each of these topics with a playful, explorative attitude, allowing you to let go of preconceived ideas of what playing ‘should be’ and discover what it is really about.

The course is self-paced, which means you can do it anywhere, at any time and you can take as much time doing it as you like.  Ther is a practice community that you can choose to be part of and post in or not.
