In these structured and concentrated practice sessions, we will look at short excerpts from a variety of music to gain proficiency in fingering, tone production, and articulation on the baroque traverso. If you have a basic command of the instrument and would like to set your foundation straight, this is for you!
Building on the foundation laid by Teddie’s previous “The Baroque Flute Bootcamp – Practicing Patterns”, this workshop is designed to be a reinforcement of the concepts learned from that first session, while also introducing new material to further solidify technical proficiency and stylistic sensitivity. Participants will work through curated excerpts drawn from J.S. Bach, Telemann, Boismortier (to name a few), with guided practice and targeted exercises that address common challenges in context. Whether you’re continuing from the first session or joining fresh, expect a hands-on, music-centered approach to developing confidence and expression on the baroque flute.
As in the previous workshop, there’ll be built-in individual lesson times. This bootcamp has 5 dates:
- November 5, 12, 19, 26, and Dec. 3
- All at 4:00-5:30pm CET (Berlin)
- Every session will begin with group instruction, followed by individual sessions. Scheduling requests for the individual sessions can be discussed and accommodated.
The session will be recorded and all registrants will have access to the recording afterwards. Presence at the live session is encouraged but not required. Follow the information links to find out more about this workshop.
