​26th June: Online Zoom meeting - Articulation for Recorder and Flute Players presented by Polyphonica Recorder Trio. 3pm. £10 payable in advance from the event webpage: https://www.polyphonicarecordertrio.com/event_detail/7/
Have you ever wondered how to approach a piece of early music that has no articulation markings? Should we slur or tongue and in which context? What information can we take from the score that can help us decide? This workshop aims to give you the means to make these decisions yourself through an examination of historical sources with simple, practical  and fun exercises you can apply to any piece of music. Participants will be emailed the details for joining the workshop upon payment.  A worksheet will be emailed two weeks prior to the event.
