The Edinburgh Flute Course 2004

July 18 - 24

Renaissance and Baroque Flute Workshop

Director David Nicholson

with

NANCY HADDEN


The Edinburgh Flute Course: a week of early flute study in the beautiful city of Edinburgh with internationally renowned renaissance and baroque flautist Nancy Hadden.

The course is annually open to players of renaissance and baroque flutes; course participants can do either or both. Some renaissance flutes are available for use. Nancy Hadden coaches renaissance consorts and baroque ensembles as well as daily master classes for prepared solos. There are informal daily 'coffee concerts' for optional performance opportunities.

Steve Player offers sessions on playing baroque dance music. Insights from a dancer about points of style, phrasing, tempo offer another dimension to playing the music. Study the French allemande, courante, sarabande, gavotte, minuet, gigue, and J.S. Bach Partita BWV 1013 and Orchestral Suite in B minor BWV 1067. Teaching sessions take place each morning, afternoon and early evening, with some afternoon/evening free times for sight-seeing and informal playing. The course ends after breakfast on Saturday morning.

Harpsichordist Lucy Carolan and viol player Erin Headley are in residence for coaching and accompanying.
