Flute Masterclass

Want to study with James Galway? Well, I don't think he's currently accepting students!

However, you can study with top-name flutists of Mr. Galway's caliber in a flute masterclass.

The flute masterclass is a great way to work with teachers you could probably never get a private lesson with. Their time and schedules just don't permit it.

I love to attend masterclasses.

1. It's a safe environment--I'm not in the hot seat as a performer.
2. I can learn new material I haven't had a chance to work on.
3. I learn to teach the same techniques in a new way.
4. I confirm that what I've been doing is correct.

What are the benefits to you from a flute masterclass?

• The opportunity to study with a big-name flutist.
• If you're a bit shy, you can still learn from the lesson that is being taught.
• If you're a teacher, you can gain new insights and get yourself "pumped up" again.
• Add the masterclass to your resume.
• If you're going to major in flute performance in college, get help evaluating a teacher.
• Meet others in the flute world.
• Travel and learn more about the flute at the same time!
• Have fun!

Where do you find flute masterclasses?

If you live in a community with a university and/or a symphony orchestra, check there. Universities and colleges often host masterclasses. Professional orchestras who are featuring a guest artist will frequently hold a masterclass for that artist as well.

Check on-line. If you have a particular school or a certain flutist that you would like to study with or that you enjoy listening to, check there web sites to see if a masterclass is scheduled.
