Steph Geremia’s Basic flute course is a very comprehensive beginners guide to playing the flute. She addresses all the problems that learner flute players may have: how to hold the flute correctly, how to get the low notes, and most importantly where and how to breath. It begins with a series of six free lessons then progresses through to the twelve main subscription lessons. Other basic fundamentals that Steph will address include: how to create space in a tune to breath, breath technique, articulation, ornamentation, flute maintenance and how to gain clarity of tone in both the high and low register. The ‘Flute Basics’ course will equip the beginner flautist with the necessary rudiments to begin a journey down the long and adventurous road of Irish flute playing.
