We invite you to come and experience a redefinition of approaching musical artistry and identity in today’s world. The clinic will be a hands-on workshop that demonstrates the commonalities of different styles of music, the application of extended techniques in different genres, the establishment of your unique voice, and helpful tips for composition and improvisation. Jose Valentino will share his knowledge of adapting within the different avenues of the music industry: transitioning between the concert hall, the jazz arena, the studio session, and the classroom. This masterclass will emphasize the importance of quality resources that will cultivate a strong and expressive young musician that will prepare him/her for any musical opportunity and bring purpose into their playing.

*All age groups and skill levels are encouraged to attend and participate with their instruments!

Massullo Music will have a large selection of Trevor James flutes available for demonstration at the workshop and the master class. For more information, please call Massullo Music at (604) 294-1777 or email massullomusicshop@shaw.ca.
