A Few Thoughts on Lessons This Week...

 

 

 

Fundamentals that I am covering with all students:

•  Breathing, posture, body awareness and finger technique, flute and piano students!
• Tone quality with a full beautiful sound in all registers/octaves
• Expressive musical phrasing with legato articulation, finger phrasing for all instruments
• Understanding complex rhythms and counting fundamentals
• Effective and stylistic articulation methods
• Preparation for auditions and performances- mental preparation
• Rhythms and articulation in scales and arpeggios
• Music theory taught as an intergral part of lessons so that students learn form, stylistic and harmonic understanding of their pieces
