Baroque Flute Boot Camp XIII: What to bring

There are a few "Newbies" this year, so here is a list of things to bring to the workshop.

• Music stand
• Flutes (if you have more than one flute, bring it/them; there is usually a contingent of 392 Hz flutes; penny whistles and trad flutes are welcome too, especially on Wednesday night)
• Workbook
• Solo music
• Other music, outside of the assigned, because impromptu duets and trios can happen at any time, even if it seems as if there is NO spare time, there always is. 
• 3-ring binder with at least 3 tabs
• Small post-it notes
• Pencils, highlighter (optional)
• Something on which to take notes during masterclass
• Light jacket
• Flute maintenance kit (beeswax, electrical tape, silk thread, super glue, small piece of neoprene, etc.)
• And most important: the HAWAIIAN SHIRT for Thursday. 

See you all soon. 

Quantz of the Week: Number 7

As usual:

• Level I: Good focus of tone on EVERY note
• Level II: Add perfect intervals (tuning)
• Level III: Add clarity of the written articulations, and make sure any articulation symbols are different from the notes that are not marked, and from those with different marks.
• Everyone: Take the first repeat only (AAB form). 

Levels I and II: Do not concern yourself with speed or any thoughts of tempo. Focus on the 2 Ts: Tone and Tuning.

Advanced players: This is NOT a race. It is all about TUNING and clarity (gotta love those slurs!). Don't make me bring back the Team and Individual Time Trials . . .
