Spend a day working on aspects of ensemble playingwith the members of The Farallon Recorder Quartet. Performers and teachers extraordinaire Miyo Aoki, Letitia Berlin, Frances Blaker, and Vicki Boeckman lead consort size in music selected from the many eras of recorder music and share their insights on how to create an ideal ensemble
Open to intermediate, upper intermediate, and advanced recorder players who play SAT and either Bass or alto8ve. Pitch A=440.
The day will be divided into four class periods with mid-morning, lunch, and mid-afternoon breaks.
The first period will begin with an all-workshop discussion/demonstration by the Quartet of how they approach common aspects and challenges of ensemble playing, such as intonation, determining the tempo and affect of a piece, choosing among rhythmic and articulation options, and general rehearsal strategies. Participants will then break into their consort size classes, sorted by playing level, and continue this session with one of the members of the Quartet .
In the remaining three periods, each consort class will be led by a different member of the Quartet. They have chosen a variety of music, including music by composers featured in Friday night’s There and Back Again concert.
Tuition: $95 | WRS members $80 | Students $50 |
Workshop/Concert Special $125 (workshop registration and one ticket to There and Back Again concert on April 22)
