The Mechanics of Musicality

FLUTE & WHISTLE MASTERCLASS

SUNDAYS: February 13 + 20 + 27
2:00-3:00pm Eastern United States 

In this three-part, online masterclass we will focus on techniques to improve your breath control, phrasing, dynamics, rhythm, and ornamentation. We will examine how each of these elements, when combined with one another, inform your very own stylistic interpretation of each and every tune you play. They are the building blocks but it is how you combine them that will bring your playing to life. We will cover new material and work from a new tune - so if you've taken a previous masterclass with me, this will still feel fresh while building upon what you've learned before.

I will be recording all 3 of the sessions and those recordings will be available for all who register. 

I look forward to working with you!

Cheers,  Seamus

“Seamus Egan’s masterclass was invaluable to me, a classically trained musician, in helping me to understand and play Celtic music in a correct style. Breaking down a tune step by step was useful to both novices and more advanced players. Seamus showed how multiple options of ornaments, dynamics and phrasing can be given for each measure in a tune, allowing freedom for the attendees to choose their own and begin to develop their personal style. He also gave many examples of how to play ornaments, slowing them down for the class to listen to and try on their own. Seamus’s kind manner and willingness to answer any questions posed by the attendees in the class was considerate, thoughtful, informative, and refreshing.” - Molly S.
