  • The scientific approach to flute playing through creative & effective warm ups
  • Development of active listening for our audiences & students

A special feature of the festival we will be the offering of 'practice buddy' sessions.  
Each student will be paired with one of three flutist that have recently completed training with Marco for their graduate and post graduate degrees. Your practice buddy will help shed light on new concepts and ideas shared by Marco during classes and sessions, and provide support in exploring the ideas of Flow, Release, and the acoustics of the flute.

Virtuoso flutist Marco Granados will be joined by critically acclaimed pianist Victor Mestas for a special evening concert on August 6 at the Chief Theater in Steamboat Springs.

As a Haynes performing artist, Granados has traveled the globe inspiring students and audiences with his artistry.
