NOVEMBER: Articulation Mastery - Zoom class 🎵

Join us for a special and insightful online articulation class on Sunday, November 19th, led by not one, but two esteemed teachers: Michael Piraner and Lobke Sprenkeling! We’re thrilled to offer this unique joint class, combining two different perspectives on articulation to provide you with a comprehensive course.

Lobke has profoundly studied the relationship between airflow and tongue movement, addressing the issues of a slow or noisy tongue. On the other hand, Michael’s research delves into the connection between articulation and speaking. Our combined expertise in this practical class will equip you with a variety of tools and solutions that can be immediately applied to your playing. Additionally, we will provide guidance on incorporating different articulations into your musical pieces.

Here is my video on articulation:

🗓️ Sunday, November 19

🌍 America/Europe: 18:00-19:30 CET

As a follow-up, we’ll be teaching a second online class on 🗓️ December 17th, focusing on Articulation and Rhetorics in Baroque music. This class takes a more analytical approach to Baroque pieces, exploring how rhetoric is integral to the art of storytelling within the music. We’ll discuss the structure of the pieces, the relationship between melody and harmony in storytelling, and how this relates to the articulations used. We will start with vocal music before moving on to pieces like Telemann’s Fantasia I, Philidor’s Recorder Sonata, and even journey back in time to Van Eyck’s variations.

💰 Pricing Information:

Each course has a duration of 90 minutes and costs £22 (42 AUD) + transfer costs.
