FLUTE PEDAGOGY ROUNDTABLE
Sunday, April 11, 2021

Virtual meeting on Zoom on the topic of
-recording yourself as a practice strategy
and
-favorite recording platforms
We will discuss how to have a healthy approach when listening to short recorded snippets of your own playing, how to give yourself constructive criticism, and how to act on that constructive criticism. This will be a fun, low pressure session covering an extremely useful and often overlooked practice tool!
The roundtable meetings focus on education, where flute teachers and non-teachers alike can share information
and ideas on how to improve our flute playing
and performance skills.
