Let’s play together!!!!!

Your goals for the New Year….Playing music with others…??  Joining a flute band, finding a duo partner? Taking your flute playing to the next level.

Now that we have worked on the techniques needed to build a good solid foundation in your flute playing, it’s time to branch out..  Let’s talk music.. 

I have always enjoyed playing duos with other flutists; whether it be my high school friend or later, my husband.  This experience of playing with someone else brings such a wonderful sense of fulfillment.  Two flutes together playing two simple lines of music in complete harmony. How special!

I would like to explore with you how we work on sight-reading and finding beautiful duets to learn and play with a partner.  The composers understand the harmony and harmonic structure of two simple lines.  When we play with another instrument our ears open up, we start hearing the contrapuntal lines of music….

We develop our ears, our brains and fingers… 

I recommend:

• The Voxman book of duos : Book 1 & 2 (available to download)
• Telemann canonic Sonata in G Major (available to download) 

Duos are not the only way to enjoy playing with others, but lets make a start .. simple melodies enhanced by a second instrument..

This is how we build our confidence and really begin to enjoy all the daily work you have put in over the last few months! 

We shall end our session with a nice Q & A and also hearing some of your holiday favourites! 

This session will be recorded and available to view until 31st March 2025.
