FluteFling February Workshop

Join traditional flute and whistle player Gordon Turnbull in a relaxed and supportive setting to learn and develop traditional techniques while building up a repertoire from Scotland, Ireland and beyond.

The workshops are suitable for adults already playing tin whistles and low whistles in D or wooden simple system (Irish) and modern classical (Boehm) flutes. Musicians returning to the instrument are most welcome. If in doubt, please contact Gordon.

Each workshop will include a main technical focus while exploring traditional tunes and will also address issues as they arise. Please check the website for more details.

Teaching is by ear, but sheet music and recordings will be provided. Different experience levels will be accommodated within the workshop.

There will be a short break for tea and coffee during the workshop, which is included in the price.

Please note that this workshop is for adults. However, those under 18 may be considered if accompanied by an adult. Please contact Gordon if considering this.

Gordon has been running traditional flute and whistle classes and workshops in Edinburgh for about 20 years, drawing on his extensive experience as a teacher and as a musician performing at ceilidhs, festivals and sessions in Scotland, Ireland and across Europe.
