Chorale melodies were written to be sung, and that’s exactly what makes them wonderful learning pieces. In this holiday workshop, we’ll use three popular German Christmas tunes (“Vom Himmel hoch, da komm ich her”, “Es ist ein Ros entsprungen”, “In dulci jubilo”) to explore how to play the flute like a singing voice and, more specifically, how to combine sound production with articulation so that each phrase carries meaning and depth. The session is for anyone who wants to enjoy some holiday spirit and learn how to sing on the flute using playing techniques from the Baroque period. The melodies are simple, so you can focus on expression, and no sight-reading skill or advanced technique is needed. All levels of flutists and teachers looking for ideas on teaching historical phrasing are warmly welcome!
