This is the second year of flute study. The course will keep you practising and playing with others. You will learn new techniques and tools for playing, as well as new repertoire.
What will we cover?
-continuation and development of all previous learning, i.e. tone, technique, articulation, embouchure, breathing, phrasing, dynamics, vibrato and posture - aural perception, improvisation, sight-reading, memorisation, musical interpretation - musical theory and style through a varied repertoire - solo and ensemble performance techniques.
What will I achieve? By the end of this course you should be able to...
- play with better tone, tuning and expressive range - improve articulation, breath control and a more flexible embouchure - demonstrate an enhanced sense of rhythm, better sight reading and practice methods - improve your listening skills, improvising and memory skills - improve finger technique and scales - improve reading music notation and general musicianship - perform a range of repertoire and participate in ensemble pieces with greater confidence - play at approximately Grade 4 (ABRSM / Trinity) level by the end of the academic year.
What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?
You should have 1 to 2 years' playing experience and have reached a standard beyond Grade 1 (ABRSM / Trinity), i.e. be able to an F or G major scales and arpeggios across two octaves. You will need to follow written and verbal instructions in English and engage in class discussions.
How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?

Occasionally you will have small written assignments to complete outside of class.
