A dynamic week of classes, seminars, and performances for flutists hosted by Jim Walker and executive director, Diana Morgan at the Colburn School.
(5)
"A truly inspiring experience." "The best masterclass I've been to!" These are just some of the glowing reviews from participants of Jim Walker's "Beyond the Masterclass" Flute Week. Jim Walker’s “Beyond The Masterclass” Flute Week combines the traditional masterclass environment with special seminars designed to expand a flutist’s horizons outside the “flute performance major” mentality that exists at most music schools and conservatories. Daily masterclasses will focus on student performance and each day a variety of workshops and seminars will cover topics such as improvisation, session playing, the piccolo, orchestral auditions, and building a real career in music. In addition to improving flute playing skills and benefiting from Jim’s insights and wisdom, participants will learn the ways working musicians succeed in the competitive environment found in today’s world. These extras make Flute Week go far beyond your average masterclass and will pay great dividends to any flutist who is serious about having a successful and rewarding career in music. Hosted at The Colburn School’s beautiful facilities in downtown Los Angeles across from Walt Disney Concert Hall, participants in our weeklong class will perform in masterclasses, attend all daily sessions, receive a private lesson with Jim, attend a special off-campus event, and perform a recital piece during the week. Advanced high school, college, and professional level flutists are welcome to register as participants. Several different ways of auditing the class are available. See the website for details: www.beyondthemasterclass.com.
Mission: To expose young flutists to the full range of options available to them as they pursue musical careers in the 21st Century
