June 28 - July 11, 2009
CSU Summer Arts
California State University, Fresno

This workshop will provide intensive instruction and masterclasses for flute students and guitar students. Repertory for flute and guitar will also be studied and performed. Course is open to flutists and classical guitarists of an intermediate to advanced level.

-Explore the possibilities of two closely linked instruments, the flute and the classical guitar.

-Each instrument will delve into solo repertoire through masterclasses with masters of their instrument – flutists work with flute virtuosos and teachers, guitarists with performers and teachers of the guitar.

-Collaboration between the two instruments is a theme of the workshop, and instrumentalists will attend chamber music coachings and perform together as an important part of the experience.

-Many aspects of music will be explored – 19th century classical, modern, and the experimental – to help the student find their own voice and manner of expression on the instrument

-The workshop will also feature an orchestral excerpts workshop (flute) chamber music coachings, flute and guitar ensemble, and morning classes on body alignment, yoga, breathing and technique.

-As diversity is the key, there will be lectures on topics ranging from baroque ornamentation and 19th century performance practice to improvisation and arranging on the guitar.

-Participants will give a public culmination at the end of the session.

Although this is a music website, It would be appreciated if there were no advertisments for services in the forums.
Thanks

Why is there a problem with posting news about an educational and enrichment event? It's not as if this were a post offering a commercial "service." In fact, I'm sure it's very non-profit.

I think the list of flute teachers at this workshop is VERY impressive (including William Bennett, Gary Schocker, and James Walker).

Other forum members post announcements about flute fairs (commercial in part), flute sales and repair (commercial), newly released recordings (commercial), and concerts/recitals (commercial for ticket sales).

I must have missed something.
I've seen many people here letting others know about all kinds of meetings, seminars, lectures, commercial or not, and I've never heard someone complain about that before.
Flute_n_basson, are you a moderator for this forum?
I didn't know of any rule that prohibits such a message.

I find this kind of information to be useful, no matter this specific event is far away from my region. I see no reason why this kind of announcements should be banned from the Forums.

In any case there is the "vote" feature available, in case someone less find it inadequate.

<Added>

sorry, someone less = someone else

Oops!! I'm so very sorry about that. I had meant to post my previous reply on one of the forums advertising ipods or something. I did not realize that I had accidently posted on this one, and realized it just now when I went to look at the information on the post. I too, find these very imformative!
My Apologies,
Flute_n_Bassoon

flute_n_basson, from my point it's alright. It can happen with anybody :-)
Sorry if I was incisive. As usual, there is always an explanation for everything.

cheers
