About the lessons:
Similar to a modular system, the various "elements of skill" (tone, timbre, articulation, vibrato, rhythm, meter, intonation, breathing, finger technique ...), which are connected to each other, are put together.
Aspects of music physiology (posture and movement skills, relaxation and regeneration skills, musician's health ...) get incorporated into the lessons.
Exercises of Bodywork and Mental Training form the bridge to performance practice and enable a relaxed, holistic and joyful flute playing.
