Traditional Winds Autumn Workshops Series 2023

FluteFling monthly Saturday afternoon workshops are held in Musselburgh, near Edinburgh, and aim to provide flute and whistle players with inspiration, ideas and support to further develop their music.

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

This season of Autumn Workshops resumes in a new setting after a break of over three years. It consists of 3 events, the first of which coincides with Scottish Folk Day:

Sat 23 Sep 2023
Sat 21 Oct 2023
Sat 02 Dec 2023

Book tickets for all three workshops at a discount rate here, or to book tickets for individual workshops in the series only, please visit Gordon's website.

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.

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 is a co-founder of FluteFling and has been running traditional flute and whistle classes and workshops in Edinburgh for almost 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.
