So on our first full day we woke up to a beautiful dutch morning, and
saw the lovely scenery of the national park on our post breakfast walk.
Wieke taught us the benefits of warming up, and our group session was
given underneath the trees in the forrest, reminding us to be relaxed
and take enjoyment in the rest of our day. The NTK group and YIP groups
split and did separate warm up sessions on the flute wih Jeroen, Wieke
amd Emily. This was the beggining of a long day of enjoyabe and
inspiring flute playing! The first individual lessons began, and
separate groups took alaxander lessons with a great tutor who came in
rom he concertgebouw. It was very interesting and an eye opening
experience to help us feel more comfortable with our bodies and
instrument. Then lunch!
In the afternoon we began our
flute orchestra rehearsals for our final concert at the end of the week,
and the first masterclasses with Emily started. These were incredibly
helpful and even inspired students to take notes in class for the first
time! Emily was so warm and suggested tips which will be so useful for
the future.
Our first long first day was finished with
an amazing workshop given by Kate Clark about baroque flutes and the
cultural heritage of the flute. She reminded us to always be creative
about flute playing, and you don't always have to follow a set path.
The day has left us very excited to continue tomorrow!
