Music & Healing w/Mary Youngblood & Stephen Branco, MA (Expressive Arts Therapist). Sat 2pm Nature Area by the old Gold Mine
Along with her life partner, Steve Branco, Mary will facilitate a ‘journey into the importance, relevance and application, of music and the arts- as they pertain to healing.’ In such challenging times, we often find ourselves searching for, and wishing to maintain what brings ourselves, our families and our communities- peace, contentment and healing into our lives. Students will further discover their own potential for using the N/A flute in healing in their own personal, and/or professional lives. Mary and Steve will lead attendees through a series of creative and fun exercises that will motivate and encourage flute players who wish to explore their own natural healing abilities.
All Levels of N/A Flute Embellishments & Techniques w/Mary Youngblood. Sunday 11:00 AM, American River Inn, Georgetown
Beginning N/A Flute Embellishments & Techniques
Students will learn basic Native American flute embellishments and techniques- such as how to pick out the right flute for them, breath control, and beginning embellishment exercises which will encourage new students in getting familiar and comfortable with their flutes. If you ever wondered how flute players bend those notes, or make their flute bark- this workshop is for you!
Intermediate N/A Flute Embellishments & Techniques
Students will further discover more advanced embellishments and techniques with their N/A flutes. Such as breath control, playing with accompaniment, letting the notes ‘fall’, bending notes, tonguing, scales and vibrato. Students will have the opportunity to ask Mary questions and see up close and personal, the techniques that Mary uses in performance and recordings.
Advanced N/A Flute Embellishments & Techniques
Mary discusses her techniques in using visualization, to assist the more advanced player in obtaining their musical goals. She teaches that even embellishments have embellishments- Mary will share advanced details of these special embellishments such as breath control, vibrato, bending the notes, and ‘the bark.’ Students will have the unique opportunity to ‘pick Mary’s brain’ about how to further advance their own flute journey.
