Breathe better, play better

We all know that breath is at the heart of flute playing - but how often do we really think about how we breathe?
Low flutes ask a little more of us than the concert flute, and learning how to use our breath
efficiently can make a huge difference to our sound, stamina and ease of playing.
In this practical workshop, we'll explore what "support" really means, try out simple support
exercises and discover how our bodies can work with the instrument instead of against it. You'll
leave with practical ideas you can use straight away, whether you want a bigger sound, longer
phrases, or simply a more relaxed way of playing.
Because when breathing feels easier, playing usually does too.
