Junior eFlute Festival
The Junior eFlute Festival is suitable for young players of all standards and promises to be educational, inspiring and a lot of fun!
Dedicated junior zoom classes will run once a week but students are also allowed to attend the main festival at any time (with parental permission) and have access to the ‘tutorial bank’ with daily tutorials, performances and messages. As well as this, Juniors will also receive weekly study packs containing challenges, sheet music and practice tips.
We will be sure to cater for all ages/abilities and students may sometimes split into smaller groups. We are also offering a Whizz Kidz module for any advanced students (Grade 7+ or equivalent).
Topics over the month include:
Speedy Fingers - Scales and Exercises
Embouchure, Tone and Target Practice
Tongue Twisting and Double Tonguing
Beat Boxing and Extended Techniques
Practice Tips and Tricks
Fancy Dress Concerts
Homemade Flutes(!)
Mini Masterclasses
