THE FLUTE OF OZ

Online course for flutists by Onorio Zaralli

38 lessons, practical exersises, tips, video lessons, quizzes, certificate of completion.

This course is the culmination of over four decades of dedicated research. It delves deep into a meticulous study that commences with an exploration of physiology, the fundamental starting point in any discussion about the flute. As we’ll discover throughout this course, the origin of sound isn’t rooted in the flute itself but is largely influenced by our own bodies.

Building upon this foundation of physiology, we progress to delve into instrumental technique, unlocking the “how” and “why” behind various articulations, including staccato, vibrato, legato, and more. To ensure a targeted approach to improvement, each aspect we explore is accompanied by a corresponding exercise.
For each aspect considered, an exercise is proposed: only this way a “specific” work plan can be completed.

Throughout the course, you’ll have the opportunity to view a series of videos, available in both Italian and English, providing direct and effective examples to enhance your understanding and skills.

A TALE OF MUSIC

Online course for musicians and music lovers by Onorio Zaralli
