Flute Days

Where? Just Flutes,
46 South End,
Croydon,
CR0 1DP
Join Chris Hankin for a relaxed day of flute playing at Europe's most illustrious flute shop!
We have tailored this event specifically for the adult flute player. During the day you will have access to:
- Individual session with an experienced tutor
- Opportunities to play ensemble music and the larger flutes
- End of day concert
Numbers are limited to 12 so early booking is recommended.
Just Flutes will be open especially for you! So you could try out a new instrument or simply browse the best flute music catalogue in the country – the choice is yours!
You will be able to improve your flute playing and enjoy making music in the company of like-minded people.
It’s certainly a great way to spend a Sunday so do join us. We guarantee you a very warm welcome!
10.00am - Session 1
Our day will start with a warm up session before we tackle a piece for large flute group. There will be opportunities to have a go at the larger instruments if you feel adventurous!
11.15am - Coffee
11.30am - Session 2
At this point you have a choice:
1) I will be taking a general workshop during which you can raise any flute-playing issues that concern you. We could tackle any technical problems that you might have, you could perhaps play a piece or study that might benefit from a little extra support or you could simply just listen to others and soak up the information!
2) Explore some music for smaller ensemble.
1.00pm - Lunch
Make the most of the relaxed atmosphere in a shop open just for you!
2.00pm - Session 3
We will revisit the large flute group piece rehearsed in the morning.
3.15pm - Tea
3.30pm - Concert
The programme will consist of any solo pieces that you might like to play, any chamber music rehearsed during the day, and will end with our big flute choir piece. If you would like to bring along friends or family that would be great! Participation is purely voluntary and it will be a really informal affair. It’s a great opportunity though – and you will be playing to the most supportive audience ever!
And finally…
I will send music to anyone who would like it. Please indicate your standard on the application form so that I can organise the groups accordingly. My aim is to help everyone improve during the day so if you have any concerns please do not hesitate to contact me.
Advance booking via the form below is required. There are a total of 12 spaces available on a first-come, first-served basis. Entry to this workshop is £40.00.
