Summer Course for Flutists

06/09/2010-26/09/2010

Audience: Amateurs as well as flute students (semi-professionals) of at least 16 years old.

Instructor: Felicitas Meyer: Flutist. Graduate from London Trinity College. Studies with Robert Aitken, Philippe Boucly and Klaus Holsten. Teaching in Baden-Baden and Munich. Concerts in Germany and Turkey.

Statement of the instructor: As a music teacher I want my students to become aware of their own inner artistic process. A student of the performing arts should be conscious that personal artistic growth is possible as long as one practices. I play and teach to serve the music – being aware of its ethical power. I believe in everybody`s possibility of artistic development. I teach in order to help others to find their artistic autonomy.
