Summer Schools for Baroque and Renaissance Flautists : 2009

Important : Click here for an updated version of this page for 2010

This page remains available for historical interest but is out of date

This is a list of Summer Schools for which I have been able to find details on the web that might be of interest to baroque and/or renaissance flautists. Please note that it only lists courses with a named teacher of traverso. There are many other early chamber music and orchestral courses that welcome traverso players but they are not the focus of this page.

Several of these courses were found on a more comprehensive but not specifically flute related danish list of early music links. Also usefull is the Early Music of America's festival and workshops calendar

I'm told several print publications give details of flute related summer courses, Traversières in France, Tibia in Germany and Ardal Powell's Traverso.

The list is in no particular order but you can sort it by clicking on the column headings (Date, Title, Teacher, etc.). Clicking again will invert the order of the sort.

"It is pointless blowing into the flute ... there is plenty of air in there already." Bart Kuijken.
