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.
