Warm-Up: High Note Soaring
Focusing on opening up our high register: blossoming, sunrise, soaring! Avoiding tension in the throat, tips for blowing freely and not holding back through fear of being sharp or sounding ‘hysterical’. Up to high G… we’ll go to A next week…

Warm-Up: Melodic minor melodies in all keys
Becoming familiar with all minor keys in the melodic minor form, using a simple melody. This warm-up is another Janna-original!

Weekly Tuesday Session: PERFORMANCE CLASS!
We were delighted that so many people played in tonight’s session, it’s always so nice for us to hear you all! And what a fantastic evening of music making! Everyone has made huge progress (great to hear!) and most importantly, you all played with feeling - lots of dynamics, colour and imagination. Yay!
Well done all!!! - Love Janna and Abbie xx
Suitable for everyone!
Monday 27th July
Warm-Up: Random Tune!!
Sight reading using the fun Flutetunes ‘random tune’ button! We never know what to expect! Today we had a nice selection of pretty duets but finished with a scary study!

Warm-Up: Interval jumping
Aiming for a beautiful legato, support and phrasing through different intervals
Suitable for all standards (some notes are in the top register but only briefly)

Vibrato in context, and Spanish tunes, plus a little bit on tuning. Apologies from Janna from Sweden - the internet was not as not as good as I hoped.
Suitable for most standards
Monday 20th July
Warm-Up: Vibrato and breathing
This is a warm up from November 2025 with Abbie, posted up today as neither of us can make the actual warm-up session live this time. Work on aspects of vibrato and breathing, using Gaubert’s Madrigal.
Suitable for all standards
Friday 17th July
Warm-Up: From low to high notes
Getting a strong foundation in your lowest register as a basis for the other 2 registers. This warm-up uses an original warm-up by Janna
Suitable for all standards

Weekly Tuesday Session: An inside look at Interlochen!
A very jet-lagged Abbie is teaching on a flute retreat in America’s famous Interlochen Center for the Arts. She put together a (stealth!) video for eFlute, capturing the size and atmosphere of this very special place…
Part of our *new* ‘Behind the Curtain’ Series

We explored lots of music that might be easily misunderstood by the title, and also some sad pieces! Rep included Rakes of Mallow, Dido’s Lament, Danse de la Chèvre and more!
