Out Of The Rut: Exploring New Horizons With Your Native Flute with Jonny Lipford
About This Workshop:
The beauty of the Native flute lies in its ability to move our hearts and souls—but what happens when you lose that spark? Falling into the rhythm of playing the same thing over and over can leave even the most dedicated players feeling disconnected from their music. This workshop will change that. Together, we’ll uncover the three most important elements for breaking free from repetitive habits and breathing new life into your playing.
Don’t expect a typical flute class. Expect connection, exploration, and revelations that will shift how you think about your music. These three elements have the power to unlock inspiration and bring you back to why you fell in love with the flute in the first place. Are you ready to break through and rediscover the magic?
Step into this workshop and give yourself the gift of rediscovery—I’ll see you there!
- A breakthrough for transforming the repetitive into something fresh and full of life.
- Tools to access more variety in your playing and break free of habits.
- A renewed sense of inspiration and connection to your flute.
