Etienne G. — Flute Teacher — Verdun, Montreal

My journey with the flute began at the age of 9. I underwent training in early and Baroque music for over 12 years at a music school and conservatory, from which I graduated. Subsequently, I developed a passion for traditional music, particularly within the Mission Bretonne. I further expanded my musical horizons by complementing my education with two years of jazz studies. What I also cherish is playing in groups! Since 2011, I have been part of both Celtic music ensembles and jazz bands, regularly participating in concerts with them!

The Golden Rule: Pleasure! It is dear to my heart that the practice of music be above all a source of enjoyment. During our lessons, we will work together on the technical aspects of the flute (recorder or transverse) in order to develop ease and dexterity. But above all, we will cultivate listening and interpretation skills to enhance virtuosity and keep the music alive! Depending on your preferences and musical tastes, we will explore different styles of music: * Classical and Baroque music * Celtic traditional music and World Music (Klezmer, Asian music) * Jazz Improvisation, sheet music reading, and ear training will also be extensively covered.
