International Flute Course
24th – 30th July 2011
La Ferme du Soleil, Chinaillon, Le Grand Bornand, Haute-Savoie, France
Welcome
Join us for an inspirational week of flute playing…
Set in France’s magical Haute-Savoie, our two expert tutors, Louise Burnet and Andrea Kuypers, will be leading a week of workshops, masterclasses, ensembles and concerts.
We welcome flautists from age 13 through to adult. Applicants should be minimum Grade 3 standard through to Diploma.
The course will encourage and inspire developing flautists in a relaxed environment where the emphasis is based on success through enjoyment.
It won’t all be work… there will be plenty of time to relax by the pool and enjoy the spectacular alpine scenery.
