Flute Choir Classes and Clinics
Carol is masterful at conducting flute ensembles. She is clear in communicating her ideas through the baton and is detailed in her rehearsal techniques. She works with ensemble directors to mutually choose a program that will lead toward a formal concert presentation. Her musical sensitivity will bring out the best blend of sounds and colors in the ensemble. A successful regional approach that will bring amateur and professional flute players together is the organization of a Flute Choir Festival or Master Class. These gatherings allow area choirs to rehearse and perform for each other. They give conductors and ensemble members a chance to be evaluated and tutored for enhanced performance. Festivals often close with a combined choir which has rehearsed to present a public concert.
