Recorder Tuition for Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass (F, bass clef), traditional or "Celtic/folk" style (workshop).

From 35 £ /h

Playing the recorder isn't necessarily "child's play". The recorder is a serious "real" musical instrument like all the other members of the woodwind family.
The soprano recorder in C is the traditional starting point for children as it is just the right size for little fingers. That doesn't mean it's a "kids only" instrument. many 17C composers have written for the soprano recorder.

If you don't want to start with the small C instrument, there's the tenor as the "large" alternative. Because of its size, though, it may be too large for some hands. The alto recorder in F, the 18C favorite of many Baroque composers e.g. Bach, Handel, Vivaldi, also called "flauto dolce"/the sweet recorder, is probably the best place for adults to start with. It's not "too small" nor "too big", offers loads of original literature, and is simply "dolce/sweet". The large F-instrument is the bass recorder. Many alto players play the bass as well but cannot read the bass clef, hence have to rely on others to transpose parts into the treble clef. I offer bass recorder playing and reading in bass clef.

Being passionate about Celtic music myself, I offer workshops explaining and practicing the differences between classical and Celtic playing for recorder players who want to venture into trad Irish or Celtic music.

Extra information

I offer a free 30 min first meeting to discuss the interests, needs, and expectations of students and discussing suitable methods. If a student has already got a tutor book/method, I'm happy to use it. In many cases, though, it may be better to start from scratch, especially online.

PLACES, FEES
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

Turkish reed flute is an essential instrument of Turkish Classcial Music. It has a deep and dense culture dating from 13. century around. If you want to learn about how to perform it you first need a teacher educated by masters on this field. As of many teachers you can find online but you make sure that not every tutor meets with traditional style.
Solfege and method are inseperable parts of the lessons. So for beginners and intermediate students must follow a compotent tutor to learn about the way of classic form.
