January Lesson Assignments

Hi Nathaniel! I thought I should touch base with an excellent Chaminade recording to listen to while you are getting started. Here are a few to familiarize yourself with.

 

1. James Galway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2Gn_FpTXD0 

2. Jagoda Krzeminska https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f60Cmw3ezDk

3. "5 Quick Tips" for the Chaminade from Powell Flutes http://powellflutes.com/academy/masters/cynthia-ellis/videos/5-quick-tips-chaminade-concertino

October 29th: Pergolesi Recordings

Hi Nathaniel, here are the recordings for you to take a listen to:

Pergolesi Concerto G Major Concerto.

1.  Peter Lukas-Graf: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CI76bJfw2U0

2. James Galway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDmfaR27V_8

Questions: What were some of the main differences between James and Peter's two concerto interpretations? Which one did you like better? If you like, just compare one movement between the two recordings. Please bring your thoughts to your next lesson!
