OUR MISSION
The aim of the flute summer schools, which Halit Turgay founded and started as a flute teacher in 2003, is to bring together flute and music lovers of all ages and levels from Turkey and around the world in an environment surrounded by nature and to share their passion for music and art. Our course, which has both educational and holiday qualities with accommodation options selected in places close to the sea, aims to leave unforgettable experiences for our participants. Our course, which we have been continuing for 22 years, aims to provide participants with new musical horizons, technical development and the experience of playing together. Our flute lessons, which we will hold within walking distance of the Athena Temple, will be an unforgettable experience surrounded by nature, art and history…
LESSONS
All our participants will take a total of two individual flute lessons with Halit Turgay and Ece Selin
Yüksel. The lesson duration is 50 minutes and there will be a 10-minute break between the lessons. Participants will choose the pieces they will play. All lessons are open to the listening of other participants.
During the lessons, each participant will work individually with Turgay and
Yüksel on the following topics;
- Comfortable Flute Practice Techniques
- Breathing Techniques, Posture and Hold: Painless Flute Playing Technique
- Work Analysis, Artistic and Historical Approach to Music
- Developing Stage Performance
In addition to individual lessons, the mission of our summer school is to broaden the horizons of our young flutists and guide them towards the goals they want to achieve. In this sense, talks will be held on the following topics throughout the summer school:
• Flute Education Abroad & Career Map
• Audition & Competition Preparation
• Creating a Personalized Study Program
