This course will feature dance tunes and slow airs that are suitable for competition playing. With regard to dance tunes there will be a progression through ornamentation, variation, phrasing, articulation, tempo, rhythm and tone. When teaching Slow Airs the main focus will be on the phrasing, momentum, appropriate ornamentation, the use of expression and most importantly the history and background to the airs and the accompanying songs, words and translations.
The course will enable the flute student to have knowledge of appropriate competition tunes and an understanding of how to approach the topic of air playing.
