ALL ABOUT REELS with Kirsten Allstaff

COURSE DESCRIPTION
Four/4 is so named after the time signature of the reel (4/4). The reel is a tune type that many players find challenging due to breathing obstacles, speed and stamina issues. Using the reel as the vehicle of focus, Kirsten shares with us pretty much everything she knows about the flute, how she dealt with her weaknesses (common to most players) and overcame them, tricks for improving breathing, practice apps and wonderful classical flute warm-up exercises that have been adapted for the Irish tradition.

This course suits the intermediate to advanced flute player who is really seeking to develop their talent and take their playing to a new level of dexterity and fluidity. Be sure to scroll down for an in-depth course description as this is the biggest course on offer here at OAIM and is packed with wisdom and guidance from a professional Irish flute player (and teacher) with over 30 years playing experience.

By the end of this course, you will have greatly improved the qualities of your playing with regard to tone, intonation, breathing, stamina, rhythm and speed. You will have learned some incredible warm-up exercises that will stand to you for your entire playing career. Plus of course, you will master the art of reels on your flute all the while adding 13 beautiful reels to your repertoire.
