Psicocinestesia flautistica

Mirella Pantano Il FlautoPensiero Negli articoli precedenti mi sono soffermata sulla parte cinestetica del lavoro flautistico; vorrei in questa occasione concentrare la mia attenzione su controllo e sviluppo del pensiero.

How to benefit from Moyse’s Tone Developement Through Interpretation

by Cate Hummel At face value, Marcel Moyse’s Tone Development Through Interpretation seems like a hodgepodge of random melodies with little attribution and very little guidance as to where the melodies come from, what Moyse was trying to teach us, and little to no idea what we are supposed to be practicing.

Король-философ с флейтой

К 310-летию со дня рождения Фридриха II и 325-летию со дня рождения Иоганна Иоахима Кванца Марина Вологдина В давние годы детства мне посчастливилось несколько раз побывать с родителями в старинном королевском парке Сан-Суси близ Потсдама.
