Traditional Winds December 2023 Workshop

Gordon Turnbulls 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.

Come along to immerse yourself in traditional flute and whistle, learning and developing skills and techniques in a relaxed setting while building up a repertoire from Scotland, Ireland and beyond.

A FluteFling co-founder, Gordons season of Autumn Workshops returns in a new setting after a break of over three years with three workshops.

The September workshop coincides with Scottish Folk Day and there will be the opportunity to video some of the music at the end of the day to join in with the celebration of Scottish traditional music in the community.

The Autumn Series dates:

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

To book tickets for all three workshops at a discount rate visit Gordons website. For more information and resources: www.gordon-turnbull.net

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.
